[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes me so angry the way the headline was written---like if she hadn't been college bound it wouldn't be as sad. [/quote] Exactly. It's so racist. Black girl was going to college, but she was gunned down instead. SMH. [/quote] There is no mention of race in the headline. "College-bound Wilson High graduate hit by stray bullet dies." You can be offended if you want to be, but what it highlights is: * An accidental death * A gun-related accident * The tragic death of a young person on the verge of the next big step of her life There are only so many words that can fit in a headline, before you have to read the article to get the details. I am offended by her tragic, senseless death, not the attention-grabbing headline of the story about it.[/quote]
