I DO agree with you on this one.......I dont think MOST people are racist, but the Media sure is.  Lacy Peterson, Rest In Peace, got sooooo much attention yet that same week Scott was on trial, 2 of the same cases were shown on my Southern Texas news station and it got 2 minutes each.  The differance: They were Mexican.  It's not even the majority of people.....it's not like whites are calling stations saying "Oh My God, you cannot show that cus they are Mexican or poor"....Lets not blame it on a race....it's the people who have actual control of the Media.  Sure, some are mexican/asian/black...whatever, but the Media  (reporters,journnalist) have the means to get these stories out there and they dont.  Not even this whole media thing is to blame on one race alone, if we are gunna point fingers, we should point them at ourselves for not standing up and doing something.   

THIS POEM SAYS IT ALL: 

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
