Hey y'all, welcome back to Unfit to Print. 
The media found its modern Rosa Parks, but the real story is much darker. 
A Reuters photo went viral this week showing a black woman sitting alone on the Metro among a crowd of Patriot Front members after their Fourth of July demonstration in Washington, DC. 
It was catnip for the press. 
A black woman sitting quietly. 
A group of masked white nationalists surrounding her. 
Some called it the "defining image" of our time. 
Others said it was the modern-day representation of the Civil Rights era. 
There's no evidence that members of Patriot Front threatened her, approached her or even spoke to her. 
And once she was identified, it seemed she was less a defiant hero than just a struggling woman in need of help - the kind of help the same media commentators would probably dismiss as cruel.
