A good example of Keith being subjective is in his three line long, fourth paragraph, where he manages to cram in two dates and 3 figures all regarding the violence and deaths caused by what the black people had done yet remained very vague when briefly touching on how many black people did turn to violence and simply used the terms “some” and “not all”, hence presenting the black people as the worse party in this situation.
