Do u believe that Donald Trump is making race relations in the US worse ? 💹

I do. It would be rather stupid to ignore his hate filled rhetoric over the past year and pretend that is he is not amplifying the fears of some Americans. And lets also remember his ugly words about the players in the NFL and NBA too.
What do you think. After this latest tragedy here in Pittsburgh, PA, do you believe that Donald Trump is causing some racial tensions to worsen here in the US or even across the globe. Let's talk about it. And while you are at it Google Robert Bowers if you dare. Comments please.

@MasterLee And what did Obama do or say to make race relations worse.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@Zonuss he created a larger rift by promoting racism.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@MasterLee How did he promote racism ?
AnneHoney · 36-40, F

@Zonuss Well, he had a lot to say about white police officers shooting black males, as well as supporting some of the race riots that happened in Ferguson and other places. He also stuck his nose into situations that pitted white police officers and black men against each other racially, and he always fell on the side of the black men. He should have waited for facts or investigation, but instaed he just chimed in. He also mobilized his Attorney General and Justice Department to launch investigations any time one of these stories reared it's ugly head. So, essentially, he put himself right in the middle of the race fights that the news constantly covered.

@SW-User And it was rightfully so. You only hate the fact that he put you in your place because he is man of color. Only a real man can admit to this. If this makes you feel uncomfortable then you just proved my point. 🙂

@Zonuss Yeah, see, stupid fucking statements like that are what I'm talking about. How did he put me in my place? Nobody puts me in my place unless I fuck something up, which is extremely rare. And this idea that I am only mad because he's a man of color slapping the whitey out of me is bullshit too. He was a president making racial assumptions about things that turned out to be completely false. So, for all of his putting me in my place as a white male, as you put it so racially, I never really saw any convictions of police officers and those shootings were justified. So, who won that one in the end? Not you and not him either. Trump is president now, and for all the campaigning he did in support of Hillary, it looks to me like the country decided that people like you and that stupid statement need to be taught a lesson.

@SW-User Well like I said. You only felt offended because he put your kind in their place. By holding people accountable who would otherwise would not be. That is what the country needed, and that is what we got. Like it or not. 🙂

@Zonuss There was nothing to be held to account. It was all justified. How was a put in my place? Seems like that misguided attempt to put whitey in their place might have led to something like Trump. Also, it's a pretty smug thing to talk about a president that the country needed, when he constantly got away with illegal actions and violated constitutional rights. You can pray to your God all you want, but he was no such thing.

There are more Blacks killed by other Blacks in a week than the number of unjustified Police shootings in 20 years. But the Racist profiteers like Al Sharpton can’t make money off of stopping crime. They profit by keeping it. Obama at first sided with the so called “hands up don’t shoot” death only to have his own justice department investigation proved it didn’t happen that way and the shooting was justified. But Obama, racist President, had already done the damage by deciding before he had facts.@SW-User
Who put "your kind" (Expound) in their place? @Zonuss
SW-User
@soar2newhighs He likes to claim that any action taken by Obama during race riots and police shootings were him putting whitey in their place.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@soar2newhighs Im just going by how he felt. Oh well that's life. 🙂
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SW-User Again, that is how he saw it which is why I responded that way. Idiot. 😛
Did he feel that way,when he, the bi-racial president and Eric holder let the black panthers who intimidated white voters in Philadelphia get them a free pass? No convictions. Where was his and Holder's concern THEN for Civil rights? I guess that how he felt? @Zonuss
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@soar2newhighs Obama had no more to do with the Black Panthers than Trump does with the Klan. Would you like some coffee ? 🙂
