First why is this a news story. Second why are no white people interviewed. I have never seen racism before in the news, but this is too obvious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pyW6w5B7Aw

Yes I guess. Nothing interesting to report in Rochester.

The dumb sheite folks will riot over. If it's something impotant, they just lay limp and dumbfounded.

People can stage anything they want on there, alter regular news to fit whatever quack job they want so it isn't news. That said, I guess racist news this is not. Now if it is a racist private film you have the choice to not look at it because white racists do the same and that is what everyone has the choice to with their garbage too.

Is it not possible that this area of Rochester is predominately black?

Is it not possible that this area of Rochester is predominately black? Definately not. It's pure racism, plain and simple. Just like the news coverage of the watermelon famine of 2008.

It looks like they only set up cameras at two locations for their interviews. It doesn't surprise me at all if 100% of the people who go to some particular business are all of one race, if you just look at how people are choosing where to live, work, and eat in real life. At three of the grocery stores I shop at, when I go there I'm always the only white person in there. Two are all black, and one is all mexican. Rochester is about 40% black people.
