Okay, A- How do you know the assailant is black? and B- This happened in Los Angeles. This could have been a bad neighborhood and who knows who could be jumping you there and C- Who says black people can't be racist too? Incredible as it sounds, Trump does actually have a dozen or so black supporters.

I followed the story.

It first came out and showed a photo of a black woman holding the brick

A few hours later the photo was removed and no mention given of the race of the assailant(s). A clearly racist attack.

What
Why
WHO
When
Where
How

Responsible journalism covers these questions without fear nor favor.

No idea how it pertains to this story but early reporting is consistently unreliable.

Well, her picture is on KABC in LA. Guess they're Trump supporters

In this case my point was the sources themselves

In order to see it how I saw it you needed to google it and check how it’s being reported by various news sources

You have no idea how the race of the attacker in a racially motivated attack pertains to the story? The heat out there must be messing with you.

If the race of the attackers is uncertain or inconclusive that should be included

It=the nature of early reporting, not whatever you're blubbering about.
