Searching for a credible racial element on which to hang a racial description in "At least 12 dead in Navy Yard shooting; possible suspect at large," The Washington Post has taken to injecting race into racial descriptions when they can find a describer of the right race.... As in
Two Navy yard employees interviewed on CNN said they were fired on in a hallway by a gunman they described as a tall black man. A woman who gave her name as Terry Durham said that as she and co-workers were evacuating, she saw a man down the hall raise a rifle and fire toward them, hitting a wall. “He was tall. He appeared to be dark-skinned,” she said. “He was a tall black guy,” said her co-worker, Todd Brundage, who is black. “He didn’t say a word.”


That last sentence, for no notable reason other than chagrin, was later changed to: "'He was a tall black guy,” said her co-worker, Todd Brundage. “He didn’t say a word.' "

Saw this interview. The white woman said, "He appeared to be dark-skinned." Then the black guy beside her said, "He was a tall black guy." In DC, white people can't say someone is black.
