Are race relations better or worse under the President?

1. I admittedly haven't read anything on this, but remember hearing an NPR podcast not too long ago that made mention of something to the effect of the middle and lower classes losing ground

Yeah, if anything this is a class issue, not a race issue. But the economy is absolutely in recovery anyone who says otherwise is pushing an agenda.

I think a lot of racial issues are symptoms  of class economic issues.  The money in America did group housing for black people together, made sure black people were poor through public and private policies, then the money moved to the suburbs when poor people problems spilled into their neck of the woods in cities. Issues with opportunities available to the poor are more pressing than police violence. Police violence and riots are just more visible and easy to give hot takes on.

I think white people are just getting smarter and realizing race relations aren't as good as they tried to tell themselves they were.

disagree. i think we are seeing minority groups in America feel empowered and are working towards change that conservatives are not happy about.  you see this with the shift in the electorate and demographics.  you also see this as the SES situation hasn't improved as greatly with the recovery at the same rates as white America.

eh ok

Is this a joke, or are you just that rough ridin' crazy?

Yeah, I mean, conservatives would hate to see minorities succeed rather than keep supporting them with taxes? Sheesh edna. And you can blame our president for the horrible recovery numbers associated with minorities.

Oddly enough it's entirely possible for him to be both. There is no doubt that he was raised by his white mother and her white parents. Makes it pretty tough to square this with the "he and Holder hate white people" talking point that you, fsd, and other psychos of your ilk babble about.

A person can be racist without hating anybody. Its simply an opinion, and always wrong.

LOL if for serious

They are getting much worse. Because the president is racist, he makes sure that things like Ferguson make national news. We don't ever hear about white people having problems with the police. It should be a citizen issue, but instead it's a race issue.

I think that may depend on your definition of racism. Beyond a doubt, he has an annoying and frankly harmful tendency to cast issues in racial terms when it isn't warranted. "If I had a son, he'd look like [insert latest young black male death that may or may not have anything to do with race]." Saying "the Cambridge Police acted stupidly" when they acted appropriately. Just a few examples.

any examples of racism tho?

I doubt your precious lil KSU would have been followed and looked at with suspicion the way Trayvon was.

Maybe, maybe not. But I doubt he would have attacked GZ if confronted.

everyone is racist on some level (humans can't help it)

So humans are born that way, like gay people?
