Or is the authors at fault due to how they presented the articles? I posted this in another thread, and decided to make a thread on it.
Take a look at both of these articles, then take a look through the comment sections on both, noticing anything different?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110510/bs_yblog_thelookout/employment-rate-for-black-men-at-record-low
Maybe it's because the White male article mentioned frequently that it was college educated people struggling also, and in the black article they simply said low employment rates may be due to discrimination?
Why do you think these comments sections differed?
