Does it seem like the media is intentionally trying to create an even more hostile race division?

in our country?

    Nah... More likely We're all just paying MORE Attention to what's "going On" lately- that's all.

    I haven't watched any TV in nearly two years, also stopped reading all U.S. cable media online some time after Boston bombings. But I can only imagine how both liberal and conservative media are whipping everything up.

    Though, from the answers and questions about the Zimmerman case before the trial, during the trial and specially after the non guilty verdict, white racists folks seem to be coming out of the woodwork. Someone plain and simple answered me that they didn't care about Zimmerman really, that they only took interest "after" Obama said back then that Justice Department should have a look at the case!!!

    P.S. I suspected all along that the animosity towards the murdered teenager was NOT as much that he was black, but that the President of the U.S. is!

    Yes. I also think at&t has racist commercials iv noticed they always make the black little kids asks the dumbest questions. But on the flipside, I also think some black people like to use the victim card and call it racism when in fact it has to do with they're personality or things that they've done... Racism is stupid, ignorant evil people come in every race... Yes I guess they figure the minority will fight amongst each other and eventually kill each other off kind of effect

    it is al a distraction so the dumb people will watch the emotion wrenching stage play staged by the media.

    What you should ask yourself is

    "what is it that I am not supposed to see that also happening?"

    In a crowd, there are attention getting scenes to be watched while the pickpockets steal your cash.
