The NY Post Is Reprehensible

[Content Note: Racism.]

This, right here, is why I am resolved to practice patience: The utterly contemptible NY Post has published an image of two young men (who appear to be men of color) on their fucking cover with the giant text "BAG MEN," reporting they are being sought in connection with the Boston Marathon Bombing.

Except: These are not the two men being sought by the FBI. They are high school runners.

YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS BACK, NY POST. YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK. IT'S ON YOUR GODDAMN COVER.

I fervently hope for these young men's safety.
