I wonder how the presentation of the parents who accompanied the children affected these results ???

Not surprising.

Empirical proof that a white man does not feel the black man's pain.

Was this the problem with Katrina? That we white folks watching could not feel the pain of the black folks -- despite their dire conditions?

What if a black man sues for suffering from a serious car accident? Would our mostly white jury award him only half of what it would award a white man?

That's half justice, for the same degree of pain. And on top of it there is the pain of the unfairness.

Those who vehemently disagree should try being black -- just one day -- in our white man's world.

It is indeed concerning, but a study like this holds true for Pittsburgh only, and the generalization of the title makes it seem like this is true throughout America.

This is more "re-elect Obama because whitey is racist" nonsense.

It's a lie, the fact that a "study" was commissioned to observe if this were so shows racial bias in itself.

You expected the result you came up with. You went looking for some perceived racism when in fact you are the racists by definition.

What will happen once your war on whitey is won?
