[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I felt EXACTLY the same about Lee Malvo and the snipers so it is not race (nice try, Mr. or Ms. Racecard).  [/quote]

You are so incredibly naive.  You think that because a small handful of upper class people (who are statistically over represented on a forum like DCUM) feel the same regardless of race that EVERYONE does?  Grow up.  The fact is that while there is some small percentage of the educated white majority that may be color blind and feel the same regardless of race, in the larger population, there is a significant amount of subconscious racism where people do feel differently based on race.  You only have to look at polls, statistics and demographic studies to see the effect.  As I pointed out earlier, do a Google search on "sympathy &lt;your killer of choice&gt;" and look at the significantly larger number of hits that you get with white killers vs minority killers.  Look at the studies about "driving while black" or the general reactions of when violent crime victims are white vs minority.  The is a huge amount of data reflecting the fact that there is still a lot of race bias out there.

But go ahead, put your rose-colored glasses back on and settle back into your sheltered little world where these things don't exist.  [/quote]
