Vox dredges up 'giant negro' lore to explain shooting of Michael Brown

Volumes of eyewitness testimony and evidence didn’t yield the indictment that the bogus media narrative demanded. The simplest explanation for why is obviously those darned “giant negro scare stories of yore” buried in our collective subconscious. Or something.

@jgpetruna Yeah, @mattyglesias didn't write this one, but it's clear Vox is infested with disgusting individuals.

Doesn't matter who wrote it. Vox is a hive mind. Matty's idiocy is in the mix. @jaschrein @mattyglesias
