....In a broader nationwide survey, taken around the first week of September, 91 percent of blacks said Wilson should be charged, while only 42 percent of whites said that.
Why the wide disparity?
The story is [probably] one of lived experience, says Josh Pasek, a University of Michigan sociologist who helped conduct the nationwide survey.

CSM is doing a disservice by publishing such old results today....more than TWO MONTHS old data.....
Its because that same % of blacks aren’t truly Americans, and that their opinions trump truth.
I didn’t happen to see the shooting of the Thug Micheal Brown to know whether his shooting was justified or not.
I did see a video of tha same thug assaulting a shop owner who was trying to prevent that same thug from stealing his property.
Therefore seeing that the Thug was stupid enough to assault a shop owner I believe he was also stupid enough to assault a police officer and try and grab his weapon.
42% of whites? That is the real problem. Entitled, wannabe minorities claiming victimhood.
Whats a Ferguson?
Cultural indoctrination is amazing.
Blacks have poor views of cops because they grow up being taught that which in turns makes them more hostile to law enforcement and more likely to have a bad experience. It’s a feedback loop.
The facts are clear. Officer Wilson did nothing illegal. He was assaulted. His assailant was approaching him and ignoring orders to stop. If the races were reversed not a single black in America would be protesting not a one!
My guess, and it's only a guess: half of them are anti-cop liberals, the other half are anti-cop underclass.
Don’t care what the blacks think anymore. Obama, Holder and the racial grievances industry have set things that far back. I just don’t respect their opinions. We’ve gone through a lot effort trying to placate 15% of the population and it is time we told them to just shut up.
That 42% of whites needs some educating though.
Remember the jubilation among blacks when o.j. was found “not guilty”?
Nailed it.
Lot of that going around.
What we have here is a case of people making in depth decisions from shallow observations. Typical.
However, in September 91% of blacks and 42% of liberal whites were willing to believe a lie without checking the real facts.
Charged with what????? Littering?
At some point in my life, at a very young age, I must have learned that attacking a cop was a very, very, very stupid thing to do, and that people who do this generally get locked up in a cage, or worse. It is so basic to behavior in a civilized society that I don't remember how I learned it. Don't kids get taught this any more?
Ditto.
I understand the attitude of the Negroes- Us vs Them. But everyone else? There is no excuse. It should be to let the grand jury do its job and see what comes out.
The fellow was a very large young man. Such fellows, if not terribly bright, can get a sense of their own omnipotence. After all, everyone else they ever got into a scrape with fell down or ran away.
If ask yourself, “During your life, when you are faced with a difficult situation and you asked for a do-over, no matter what the facts indicate or if it was a matter of person responsible, did you get it?”
I would suggest that most white people were expected to deal with the issue. This expectation came from their parents, their church, and their work. “life is not fair” is a phrase often heard.
Not so much in the Black American experience. They are treated as victims in school, in the courts, and in their communities.
Why wouldn’t they think they deserve to be treated as victims now?
Truth no longer matters. It is not the highest value our society seeks any longer.
