I just hope they catch the perpetrator no matter what color skin or what accent or even an alien , just hope they get who did this ....

Courthouse evacuated after bomb threat
Boston’s federal courthouse, where a large contingent of media had gathered in anticipation of an appearance by the suspect, has been evacuated. (3:33 p.m.)
Unattended car leads to hospital evacuation
Well, for one, a lot of people can actually identify a lot of accents. But also, it's not like people are going to go out and start curb stomping people with accents. I see no harm.
noo ... people cannot identify accents ... most americans could not find iraq on a map when asked to ...
this is a country that after 9/11 had people beating up any "brown" people they could find ...
it's why the fbi issued a plea for the media to not report erroneous details ... because of the possibility of this happening ...

That's a bit dramatic. Nobody I've ever met would take to the streets and start crushing brown people. Sure there were isolated incidents after 9-11, but I don't believe it was a widespread thing

Yes, most of us could not find Iraq on a map and did beat up brown people after 9/11. You've got us figured out. The whole country could not wait to beat up some brown people.

obviously it's not a widespread thing but is one incident ok? ... 10? ... knowing the information is already speculative - it just serves no purpose ... i've yet to hear one valid reason why that info is important to anyone except law enforcement ... especially knowing that most reports have been erroneous ...

Just stop judging the whole country by the lowest common denominator. You said most, you were wrong. You jumped on Wolf Blitzer's words pretty good earlier so watch your own.

I think that saying the news can't talk about a person's accent because people with accents might get beaten up is a little much - sounds paranoid.

Yep... it's either most of us are racists or none of us are. Great parameters there.
And 6 out 10 young Americans probably can't find Kansas on a map, but that doesn't mean they are going to grow up to beat up brown people.

The last time our country was divided on race and held rallies and marches was because NBC edited a 911 call. Compared to what I've seen from the 60's, we have come a loooooong way.
I'll blame poor geography skills on the teachers union.

The current population of the US is 313,914,040
10 incidents isn't exactly widespread.
Don't act like you walk around not seeing the color of people's skin. The American public has good reason to think that Middle East terror could possibly be involved. That stereotype isn't unfounded.

because we are talking about an incident in america and the response of american people ...
look at the post i responded to ... is it wrong to respond to sarcasm with sarcasm?
yesterday, they said... look out for a dark skinned man with a black sweatshirt, black backpack and possibly an accent.
today news breaks that a suspect has been arrested, and the news stations are just trying to get a sense of the situation. was it a dark skinned man with an accent... what kind of accent? or was it a white guy?
personally, i dont think it should really matter. black, white, green, purple.... whoever did this is one sick fuck. regardless, i think that the news is just trying to get every tiny piece of info they can get, as soon as they can get it...
which isn't really working out that well, since it seems that NOTHING that the news is reporting at this time is accurate.
ive been sitting back watching this thread fall apart. we shouldn't be arguing over our own beliefs, political or otherwise... we just dont know enough yet. we should all be mourning those lost and injured, and coming together as a community in hopes that justice will be served, no matter where the person came from who is responsible for this.

I could have missed something, but who is stereotyping people from the middle east?? I don't think that thinking some fanatic from the ME could possibly be a culprit for a terror bombing in the US is stereotyping, and it's not like people wouldn't be thinking it if the media didn't mention it.... If fact, if the media tried to pretend that the possibility of it being an Islamic terrorist wasn't a factor worth mentioning, they'd look like idiots.

Simply. Yes
I don't believe that at any time in the history of the world has there been a lack of morons. Good luck trying to tell yourself there won't be.
We have groups based in the Middle East that have openly pledged to destroy our country. Until further notice from them I'm okay with double standards and jumping to conclusion when bombs blow up in the streets of Boston.

they turned a flight around because two guys who looked like they were from the middle east were aboard a flight and talking to each other in a foreign language ... police took these guys off the flight and questioned them ... if that's cool to you ... so be it ... i personally think its abhorrent ...

Yes, because in a population of 300+ million, we've had a handful of bad racial incidents, that makes us all racists or people who support or condone racism.
Because, "it's cool to us"
