I was just wondering if your local news, online, is filled with racist commentary such as the example below. Michigan has some of the most racist commentary....both Detroit and Grand Rapids, in its local online news comments. Is this typical in other areas as well?
I really wanted to juxtapose the comments when the race of the perpetrators are different. Generally, when whites are the perps of crimes, the comments are much less derogatory and the scope of the comments remain the PERP, while when the perps are black, the comments are derogatory and the scope of defamation extends to the parents, as well as, the entire community (black).

You ever been at a shooting crime scene in an all black neighborhood where all the perps were black? I have
Trust me these comments are preschool compared to the racial litanny of aspersions cast amoungst members of the same black community friends and family included. Makes the most hardcore black rap videos seem tame by comparison.
You don't have to go so far as reading commentary from the hoi polloi. This was written in the Op Ed of the Washington Post.
Quote:
Longtime Washington Post opinion writer Richard Cohen has come under fire
again for racial remarks in his column, this time about NYC mayor-elect Bill de
Blasio’s family.
Cohen on Monday wrote that the GOP “is not racist,” but that “people
with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the
mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two
biracial children

Race relations start at home.
Uh....I grew up in an all black community.....people were murdered right in front of our house on several occasions. I have not "seen it all" but I have definitely seen more than I ever wanted to see. What....do you think that the News organizations that run the sites are going to let harsh and vulgar street talk remain posted on their comment section? No! One has to read what is being implied in the comments because posters know if they present it overtly that the post will get deleted. Some of the post in this story have already been deleted.
I personally like forums because they expose what people try to pretend does not exist. Its amazing some of the comments you read concerning people who have just lost loved ones to violence....and the VICTIM is often attacked if they happen to be black and live in a black community or neighborhood. If you are a black man out at night and get killed.....you were up to no good anyway....along with the perpetrators.
I don't put much into internet comments.
You can become whoever you want and say whatever you want because of anonymity.
Lots of internet tough guys .... I doubt they'd say half of what they say if they had to put their face/real name to their statements.
