It's not hard to see why.

Just look at the people in this thread making absolutist generalizations.

Default better choice

Perhaps a better way to illustrate your question would be to note the overwhelming black on black crime. Otherwise you post is another thinly disguised racist rant.

OUTRAGED....Why So Much Hate In America?

I don't think there is that much hate in America. These hateful events are an aberration. Most of us live our entire lives and don't get exposed to such hate. These events just make the headlines. After all, we have over 300 million people, so we should expect these things from time to time.

Many of us feel this way, but few have the courage to admit it.

Yes, our experiment has been a disaster, and many older black people are the first to agree with that because they've watched their old neighborhoods turn into war zones. The idealist in me likes to think that we could have approached it differently with better results and that some day that Act II will play out. Only time will tell.

Much like government doing a good job at something, this kind of stuff never makes the news.

The experiment failed because the government tried to fix social problems. Natural integration works, that I can vouch for.

You are all trash and someday that hate will visit you.

All that needed to be said for the attacks in Wisconsin and this senseless tragedy was the criminals who did these things needed to pay. But NOOOO lets all of us decent law abiding citizens race war with each other. That will make the world a better place. Stop being so stupid.
Agreed...they are so good at deflection.

This is sad.

But that isn't the case, and there isn't video tape unlike in this situation there is.

And LifelongMOgal, please. President Obama has never advocated race divisiveness. Unless you want to argue that him being president and standing there prompts people to make race-charged comments online in a heavily right leaning forum because it makes them feel better.
Well it'd be a different story if this article wasn't blatantly posted in order to point out "evil whitey." A thread that's started to be racial can't expect much more than racial responses in kind.
