Why are the stories about race relations always negative? Why don't we speak about the positive stories?

That's easy; 1. Bad News sells, and get ratings. Networks are a money making business so that is an easy thing to do. 2. Others don't want to change. It's easier to point a finger and blame someone else, but you cannot take a second to see that you're part of the problem? 3. Everyone wants a label. Can't be cool without a label. But when the label given is counter to what you thought you wanted, then we have a problem. Note that 99% of the cops are good men and women. The SECOND one screws up, the entire industry is a bunch of racist and bigoted people with no one to hold them accountable. The news plays on fear. Make it as dramatic as possible. "Johhny broke his toe playing ball". When the news gets it Johnny Jones of whatever ghetto you want, was running from the police, and while he was running, the cops found that he had a weapon on him. The police then attempted to bring Mr. Jones down with a hail of bullets and in the process of shooting, they shot 3500 rounds of .50 cal ammunition, Johnny fell and broke his toe. None of the expended ammo hit Mr. Jones. That is what lamestream media does to folks. Make it as big and bad as it possibly could be.

SSG Pete Fleming - when it comes to money and journalistic integrity, we loose every time. If you control the airwaves and you control the content, you control the sheep. Just so happens that 80% of America are those sheep.

SSG Warren Swan - You know it is sad that this is so true! But why I said it is sad, not because people blindly believe what they are shown/told. No, but because the means to research and find the truth is right at your fingertips. You can have a different opinion, but it should be based on facts. Perhaps your interpretation of those facts differ from mine but based on facts. People don't research.
If I started a movement that the sky has glass particles and that is why the sun reflects light and I were able to go some followers, and then just one was able to produce 'facts', people would begin to join the movement. If I were then to get a famous person to endorse the theory it would then become real. If others were to deny my claim, my theory would then become fact... with hardly anyone doing research themselves.
"bah! bah! bah!"

One of my favorite stories occurred about 100 years ago in Nebraska. A black fellows wife died and he was on hard times with a family to raise. He borrowed $5.00 from a local lawyer and judge. A few years later he went to pay the loan back. His benefactor had died. So he looked up the man's heirs. That had now idea what the loan was about and told him to forget. The Black fellow insisted he pay. The paper work was found and the debt paid. How many people have that muc integrity?
