Opinions on the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, are strongly divided among racial lines, the latest New York Times/CBS poll shows, but still most people feel race relations in their own communities are good.
However, there is a rising feeling among whites that race relations are troubled, The New York Times reported.
The poll also shows that while most whites are reserving judgment over whether police officer Darren Wilson was justified in shooting the unarmed teenager, most black respondents said the incident was unjustified.

Stunning. Or not.
And we can always count on the media to fan the flames!
Please tell me why most black respondents have already made up their minds devoid of any facts? Just who are the racists?
These crimes have been so covered up by Big Media I'd bet the average person has little idea they're occurring. I don't watch the national alphabet news anymore. Maybe someone who does watch them can tell me if they report of the ko games. Somehow, I doubt they do. If most Americans knew the real numbers of black crime, there'd actually be less sympathy for Brown by white Americans.
They included race in the survey?
Isn’t that...racist?
I bet you would get near identical results from the question “Was OJ guilty?”
We saw the same thing in the OJ Simpson case. The divide has always been there.
Some tell me I’m closed minded because I don’t watch the majors and get a well rounded view of things. I have watched them and Fox and have concluded that Fox is the least offensive of the bunch. And I rarely watch fox anymore either. I really boils down to which wheel barrow full of horse manure stinks the least and each person makes the decision which one it is. Same applies to politicians and elections.
The ONLY REASON Obama and Sharpton have jumped onto this is because it will keep the African Americans on the plantation.
O. J. Simpson criminal trial. ... The Jury By Race: 9 Blacks, 1 Hispanics, 2 Whites
It’s the New York Times! We move on....
And remember, blacks didn't necessarily believe that O.J. was innocent; they just wanted to see him acquitted whether he was guilty or not.
Aww hell it isn’t just on the Brown shooting.
exactly what happened at my office when the OJ verdict came in...
we all sat there in silent disbelief... while certain co-workers jumped up and down in joy.....
So whites have applied traditional principles of jurisprudence (innocent unless proven guilty), while blacks have rushed to judgment on the basis of skin color alone.
And WHITES are accused of being racists ...
“Please tell me why most black respondents have already made up their minds devoid of any facts? “
One reason for why: They have IQs which average 85.
Prejudice, and skin color is the answer.
