Black Trump Supporter Assaulted By White Leftist Drops Lethal Truth Bomb About The Media

On Thursday fellow Downtrend contributor Brian Anderson shared a video of black Trump supporter R.C. Maxwell being assaulted during a rally last Sunday in Laguna Beach, California, after crossing the street to speak respectfully with counter-protesters.

During an interview later Sunday with local station KTTV, Maxwell, who identifies himself as “Black Hannity” on Twitter, dropped a lethal truth bomb about the mainstream media.

“If the optics were completely different and I was a Black Lives Matter supporter, and I was attacked on the Trump side of a protest, I would be in the spotlight on CNN right now,” he said.

Correct.

Yet as of Friday morning, there had still been no mention of Mr. Maxwell by CNN, not to mention The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Huffington Post and almost every other leftist rag. They had clearly buried the story.

In the case of CNN, the network chose instead to run with a “report” about how every supporter of President Donald Trump is a white supremacist …

I’m sure Trump supporter R.C. Maxwell would certainly agree (sarcasm):

“I went over to the left side to see if I could engage them with dialogue, and I was instantly encircled by the so called anti-fascists,” Maxwell continued in his interview Sunday with KTTV.

“I think the fact that I’m a black conservative causes a lot of problems for the left side because there’s no way they can really resolve that according to their narrative of what they think Trump supporters are, so I think that was a bit triggering to the other side,” he told the station. “I was getting lots of specific comments like, ‘You’re a sellout, you’re an Uncle Tom.’”

In my case I’m an “Uncle Ghandi,” but you get the drift …

And judging by how the media treat so-called “sellouts” and “Uncle Toms,” one thing is clear: If they perceive you as a race traitor, your story will get no traction with them, no matter how compelling it may be, unless of course they discern a way by which they can manipulate your tale to boost their preferred narrative.

One word describes this behavior: Bias.

And while I expect bias from any and every news source, including Downtrend, the problem here is that we’re talking about the national media, which frankly almost has a frightening monopoly on what most Americans see everyday.

Because of this immense power they wield, it’d therefore be nice if they’d be 100 percent honest about their bias, not that they ever will.
