Shocking findings. Well, maybe not so much. Obviously there's an issue. I guess knockout games don't factor in to the equation or looting "cause you can" making "whites" feel that race relations are "troubled". They just racis'. I'm thinkin' the law abiding citizens of Ferguson, regardless of race, are pretty embarrassed over the whole thing.

Please tell me why most black respondents have already made up their minds devoid of any facts? Just who are the racists?

"knockout games"
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.

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.

My wife was working at a liberal university at the time of the O.J. trial. The only people I know of who were shocked at the O.J. verdict were liberal elites like the profs at that college. They seemed to really believe "we've come a long way in race relations" thanks to the Great Society. The poor fools had no idea that if anything, the divide is greater than ever.
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.

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.....
To: rktman
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 ...

To: Old Retired Army Guy
Please tell me why most black respondents have already made up their minds devoid of any facts? Prejudice, and skin color is the answer.
