Taken from news article:
"In what appears to be an attack on a well-known civil rights organization, an “improvised explosive device” detonated on Tuesday at the headquarters of the Colorado Springs, Colorado NAACP, according to a statement by the FBI. No one was killed or injured in the explosion, and there was “only minimal surface charring to the exterior wall of the building,” which also includes a hair salon. The explosion could have been much worse, however, as the explosive device was placed next to a gasoline can in an apparent attempt to increase the force of the explosion. The gasoline did not ignite.
The FBI statement adds that a “potential person of interest in this investigation is a Caucasian male, approximately 40 years of age, and balding. He may be driving a 2000 or older model dirty, white pick-up truck with paneling, a dark colored bed liner, open tailgate, and a missing or covered license plate.”
Although the apparent bomber’s motives are not yet known, bombings were a common terrorist tactic during the Jim Crow era. The city of Birmingham, Alabama became known as “Bombingham” due to a rash of bombings targeting black homes and churches, including a 1963 church bombing that killed four girls. The aftermath of that bombing is depicted in the picture at the top of this post."
 
I wonder if the usual suspects will steer clear of this one, as it tends to complicate their "racism ended because Dr. King gave a speech in the 60's, so stop complaining" worldview.  

Or will they instead double down and suggest that the NAACP wouldn't be bombed if they'd just stop "looking for trouble?" 

 

Longshot candidate:  "This wouldn't have happened if Obama/civil rights activists/outside agitators hadn't fomented racial tension!"

Sounds like the description of almost every prejudiced white person ever

Peep the difference between prejudice and racism
 
Heard about it on Twitter earlier tonight. :smh: haven't seen it mentioned on the news at all

You know the usual trolls will duck this thread. This was a botched Homeland terrorist attack but they won't call it that if it ever hits the news

I posted the first link that came up with a google search
A bait thread is bending the title of the thread so it sounds like something that it isn't. (Example: "Black man beats police in broad daylight in park" and the thread is about some guy beating in officer in a game of park chess)
This thread is what it is, what happened in the title is what happened in the situation isn't it?

Gotta blame the media. If it wasn't for twitter, I'd have no idea :smh: . Imagine all the things that would go under the radar if it wasn't for social media

But notice that CNN doesn't post it until a day later and FORGETS to mention that the assailant is a balding white man. They just have his description as a balding man...stay woke. If it was a Black man I'm 100% sure they would mention that in the report
