Surely they would have done better if they had worn Burkas.

/// Officers described the female suspect as a black woman, about 5’5 tall, wearing black boots, white gloves and armed with a semi-automatic pistol. ///

/// The male suspect is described as a black man, about 5’7 inches tall, wearing black-and-white gym shoes, black-coloured gloves and armed with a revolver.///

How did they know they were black, when they were both wearing masks and gloves?

This is not what I consider debate.More like provoking a slanging match
They probably spoke.

It is possible to differentiate between black and caucasian individuals by the sound of their voices.
No - It's 'everyone knows that white people don't do armed robberies' silly...
or the bank clerk (that's what they call them over there isn't it) probably saw through the gaps in the mask.
Still, it gives us hand-wringing lefties amo in the whole 'ban-the-burka' fight doesn't it!! yessss!!!

Wish I hadn't looked at the thread thoughbloody scary those masks!

Do you think so Andy? Surely there are plenty of black persons that talk even better than some whites.

Chris Eubank, Trevor McDonald for example,.yes they are British, but it must be the same for Americans?
If they are that well spoken it's highly unlikely that they are out robbing.
aah AOG, are you doing that deliberately? I'm pretty sure Andy meant the tone of their voice rather than their vocabulary / diction ... i.e. a black man may have deeper voices than the average white man.
Perhaps they were black masks and gloves!!

No need to, they are quite happy fiddling their expenses.
Bloody hell, I'd notice them... a couple of penguins brandishing guns... whatever next...well scary.

'Nuns on the run' springs to mind.
How would wearing burka have helped? On the other hand if they had worn niqab they may not have 'recognised' their colour, there's some great ones on ebay with voice changing software installed

Not that carolegif, the woman was wearing white gloves, hoping to be mistaken for a white women do you think?

The guy wore black and white gym shoes, that should have confused them.

Having read their descriptions again though, why were they just 'white gloves',
but 'black coloured' gloves, if you please?
Could it have been Robbie coltrane and Eric Idle wearing face paint?!!
the security cameras were able to zoom in and determine the skin colour through the mask openings.

simple really.
I will say it. They were obviously black because they were involved in a armed robbery... (and before anyone reports me i am joking!!!!)
Thank you paul3 - that is exactly what I meant.

It is perfectly possible to identify a lack man's or woman's voices, they are pitched slightly differently. hard to explain - but easy to pick up when heard.

Maybe not infallable - but certainly an indication.

AOG - are you inferring that any well-spoken black person must be fraudulent?

My turn to be disappointed in you I feel.
A countrywide ban on wimples is the only answer. Or maybe not.

Bl00dy Hell Andy where the hell did you come to that conclusion? I am doubly disappointed in you now, what is the matter with you all today?

My remark was just a light-hearted topical remark, in answer to ummmm's inference that well spoken people are unlikely to go out robbing.

/// If they are that well spoken it's highly unlikely that they are out robbing. ///

I am signing off now, I am getting fed-up forever explaining myself to some of you, it's no longer the adult answerbank we once knew.
oooOOOOOoooooo !
