Will the Internet exacerbate tensions between groups?

You mean, like the people who said "Bush is Hitler" and drew cartoons of blood dripping from a bullet hole in his head?

Remember when the rule was, the first person who compares their opponent to a Nazi loses automatically? Why doesn't that rule apply to Democrats?

"Will the Internet exacerbate tensions between groups?"

Followed by two very deliberate attempts to use the internet to exacerbate tensions. Unbelievable...

Especilly given that many of your "facts" are misinterpretation or even lies that are deliberately intended to provoke and inflame. For instance, accuse black people of being criminals yet make no attempt to look at the socio-economic factors such as entrenched inequality, racism and stereotyping, that leads to this.

It's all about who controls the news. Those who control the news can always sit in the backgorund and pit groups off one another.

This is basically throwing gasoline on the fire for people who want to label all black americans as thieving, murderous animals or muslims as people who walk around with bombs strapped to them. You were trying to help but pointing out the reasons for tension usually makes it that much worse. The truth is good but not all truth is good. The fact our military carelessly kills innocent people without blinking an eye is the truth; but its painful to hear. Hearing the truth often hurts more then the fact it exists.
