I wasn't familiar with the preceding events and I misinterpreted the title as more racebait.

The pieces of the backstory that are presented make it sound like a hate crime, but it could have been triggered by something else and I try to be skeptical of everything in the media.

I appreciate your skepticism, I think too many voaters take things at face value.

I'm also one of the few voaters who thinks we should try to fix race relations, rather than perpetuate the hatred we have today.

Yeah it's hard to be skeptical about stories that agree with one's worldview and easy for stories that don't.

Any thoughts on how to go about helping race relations? I think time will help but it's hard to know if racism is getting worse or if more racists are using the internet and being more visible. I'm inclined to think the latter, as internet use is available on phones/tablets and more culturally accepted than ever before.
