Do u believe that Donald Trump is making race relations in the US worse ? šŸ’¹

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.

Race relations in our country were tolerable during the 70ā€™s, 80ā€™s, and early 90ā€™s. Then something happened.... oh wait, we put cameras on law enforcement uniforms! All you people are naive. Nothing is worse than it has ever been race-wise; the behavior we are witnessing is just the result of the public being made aware of what has always been happening behind closed doors; sights unseen.

Abuse of power isnā€™t something new; it has always been here. We just video it now.

All Trump is guilty of, and I am a Trump supporter (on some days), is making free speech publicly tolerable. Normalizing hate speech as free speech without really understanding the implications of what he has done. His own son-in-law is a Jew so I donā€™t understand why he takes a neutral stand with hate groups.

ā€œHe just doesnā€™t condone the violenceā€... ROFLOL

@chaoticdreams Well as a man of color, I can tell you to your face you are wrong. In spite of the progress we have now made in the past 40 years, we have taken a step back. And its because the hate crimes are now being done again, and the (attitudes) of some Americans are starting to show. A lot of it has to do with the rise in White Nationalism and hate groups around the world and the fear of White genocide. You can ignore this truth if you desire to do so. Or you can accept the fact that the New Worlds Order divide and conquer plan is working as it was predicted to do. Comments. šŸ˜

@Zonuss I agree to disagree. As a bi-racial man, all I see is stupidity from both sides. In my own experience Blacks and Hispanics are just as racist as whites; so both sides are equally at fault for what is going on. Whites spew rhetoric, whereas minorities tend to go a step further and try to erase history by tearing down civil war statues and banning flags.

Here is a little known fact: old glory with her colonial red and white stripes and those wonderful stateside stars have more of a history of racism than the confederate flag. Furthermore if you erase historical sites by tearing down statues, then no one can learn from the bad things those people have done; thereby ensuring history repeats itself; intelligence is lacking in America.

As a bi-racial man in America, I can tell you that Blacks are less tolerant than whites when it comes to race; especially with bi-racial men. So donā€™t lecture me on your feelings of being treated unfairly by the man when every black youth out there is taught to hate the white man because of the sins of their fathers. Needless to say I have still yet to meet a Black person, 30 years of age and under, who can say they have really experienced racism to the same degree their parents and grandparents had. Yet they all seem to have that entitled ā€œletā€™s go to warā€ look about them.

Did I mention I am bi-racial?! Perhaps I should also mention that part of my ancestory has Nazis in it as well. Does that make me a Nazi? No. It is part of who I am, but I donā€™t have the ideology. My story isnā€™t much different than many of the whites who are targeted by Black people everyday in this country.

So what you are saying only perpetuates hate and a disdain for the ever-so-racist BLM (Black Lives Matter) movement, which should be labeled Everyoneā€™s Lives Matter (no matter what race they are). Want to end racism?

Get rid of minority-exclusive television; no more Miss Black America pageants, no more Black Entertainment Television, no more minority-specific programming; integrate it all so everyone can experience quality programming and not just race-based television.

Get rid of minority-specific scholarships or allow whites to have their own scholarships without crying ā€œracismā€; poor Whites are just as disenfranchised as poor Blacks when it comes to education. Allow for things to be fair across the board without judgement.

Above all Whites and Blacks need to stop preaching hate to their children!! This is where it all begins because kids are born colorblind. At the end of the day schools are at fault too for not teaching history in its entirety, but rather picking and choosing what they teach in an effort to be politically correct. Honestly no one gives a shit about being PC.

To sum this up, and then I am done with this thread, no race is without blame for the violence, hostility, and hatred. The most innocent are the poor bi-racial assholes, like myself, who, at no fault of their own, got mixed up in this selfish conquest of which race is the most superior. Honestly I donā€™t personally give a shit; if Whites and Blacks want a war, toss me some popcorn, televise the shit, and entertain my ass! Just leave me the fuck alone because none of it is my fault and none of you assholes, on either side, listen to reason anyway...lol.

That is all; I hope you enjoyed my rant of the evening :)

@chaoticdreams Just because you are biracial that doesn't mean you cannot be a racist. I think you grew up in a post segregation generation X era. So you were the Oreo cookie child. I'm sorry if your childhood left a bad taste in your mouth about people in general. But making generalizations that are overblown makes you look ignorant on your own account. This is a different time now and biracial kids become President s. Do you get it now. Enjoy your day.

ā€œthe Oreo cookie childā€

I arrest my case... you are just as much a part of the problem as anyone so get over yourself.

@chaoticdreams The Oreo Cookie comment was just to show you that is the point. You are a product of the past. Now I am not saying bi-racial kids are not picked on anymore, but its not like it use to be. They fit right into our society especially today which again just proves my point. Racism will exist for as long as we all shall live.
