Can't even turn on my TV - thankfully since I live where I do my TV intake time is small - but like I give a crap about what the witness's sister's aunt's friend who walked a dog that used to be owned by her friend's uncle that bought a used car from this guy over here who's connected to the case this way thinks about blah blah blah OMG shut the hell up already!

I do not blame that on the news media at all. Racial animosity has been here all along. When you haul people across the ocean in chains it's sort of inevitable, isn't it?

Personally I have always found it completely stupid. Why on earth dislike someone, or worse, based on the color of their skin? It's like disliking them based on their hair color.
