Suppose, God forbid, this event took place: An undocumented
Mexican janitor is laid off from a fundamentalist black church when they
discover he is an atheist. He steals a hunting rifle from his landlord and murders
three church parishioners on Christmas eve, before being shot by an off duty
black cop carrying his service revolver in the church. Here’s how I see the
various news headlines about the event:
MSNBC
“White Hispanic in Racist Rampage”

“War on Christmas turns violent.”
