There’s still a street named “Dixie Drive” in Houston?! I thought all those names were changed to George Mandela Floyd Looter King already.

Found at 11 a.m. central time tuesday, 7/15: A 2-minute kprc-tv report from gootube.

White anchor, white reporter standing outside police hq, or maybe in front of a green screen in a studio. Make your own (ahem!) inferences about them.

Two blacks give soundbites from elsewhere, a few seconds showing the photo of the deceased owner, Paul “Junebug” Stevenson (compensated for his white-sounding name with the shoulder-length dyed braids), and one commenter writes, “Not one person from the bar can form a complete sentence?”

yahoo says he was a “well-known Houston barber.” msn headline: “beloved barber.” But none said “iconic barber.”
