My opinion? The media is the most racist of them all, period. This would not be a national story if it was an example of white-on-white violence. But the fact is that the media just happened to notice the disparity between the skin color of the victim and the accused, and it became a major headline.
Honestly, one of the things about our nation that's made me feel the sickest is that, in our attempt to blur the differences of our ethnicities, we've done nothing more than amplify them.
