We told you earlier about CNN’s wokeness fail in the attempt to make the Austin bombings an issue about race. The Washington Post’s global opinions editor picked up that ball and ran with it:
People of color are being bombed in Austin. This story deserves so much more attention. https://t.co/Vf1GEkJQDM

Watch for falling reality hammer:
Two latest victims in #AustinBombings are white
These are horrendous attacks
But time to turn off the #Racist alarmshttps://t.co/ZNM6TtM2Cu https://t.co/wFm9v6q4SH— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) March 19, 2018
That latest information was available in the Washington Post.
This is what happens when you view everything through a social justice lens.
The story doesn't "deserve" attention because of race.
The latest two #austinbombings victims are white.
ALL the victims were innocent HUMAN BEINGS. https://t.co/OizH7YyPdt— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 19, 2018
As if the situation wasn’t bad enough, there are people trying to score SJW points off the bombings when the perpetrator and motive remain unknown.

…Christopher Combs, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Antonio division. "It's more sophisticated, it's not targeted to individuals … " https://t.co/r8jxJbxGLB

It’s unlikely the most woke among us will let the facts get in the way of the preferred narrative.
