Survey: under Obama, race relations in the US reach 20 year low

I would call this breaking news, but the only real headline here is that Time Magazine felt the need to point this out as if it were some sort of surprise. Ask anyone of any race, gender, age or religion how they think things are going in terms of race relations and unrest around the country these days and you're going to get a fairly gloomy response. But one recent survey shows that it's even worse than some of us imagined... in fact, it hasn't been this bad since the bad old days under Bill Clinton. (Time)

He ran as a uniter. He’s been a race pimp.

This is part of the DemonRat plan to divide up America into different interest groups. That’s the point of the astroturf Black Lives Matter ‘movement’ = keep the Negroes on the plantation voting against their self interest. Make the entire country look like Detroit.

Dems are good at picking ‘deal breaker issues’ for various groups. They then make the specific group feel like victims or targets of the GOP. They then get them (women, blacks, Hispanics, young people) to vote against their own best interest and vote Democrats.

What white privilege?

I’ve been a victim of ‘reverse discrimination’ as have most people I know. Jobs that are ‘black only’... med school slots that you have to be a ‘black ex-prostitute’ to qualify for... sports teams where blacks are assumed to be better just because of their skin color.

The real war is against white males. White middle aged men are dying off in high numbers. Mission accomplished!

I had black friends in high school. I had black friends in college. I had a black girlfriend who I remember very fondly.

Today? I stay the hell away from those people. Something big changed in this country and I don’t think it was me.

The news here is nothing short of astonishing. Many people will shake their heads in disbelief. Many more will deny the truth. But there it is for the world to see:

Time magazine does still exist.

Just 20 years?
With all these fatheads in the streets, again??
Let’s be honest, and take it all the way back to the WATTS riots, and all the “i deserve, give me, you owe me” crap.

This is the worst it’s ever been. The crime, the entitlement, the rioting, looting and burning of parts of cities..

Still waiting for more uh, ‘activity’ in B’more after the hung jury announcement. And, from what I read the jury is 7 females and 5 males with a majority being uh, non-white. So, it had to have been the non-people of color who were holding out and not voting to find the defendant guilty.

Yesterday, in Downtown Pittsburgh, we nearly had a race riot over the routine arrest of a black yute who was vandalizing an escalator in a subway station.

Before Obama he would have been hauled off to juvie and dealt with. Thanks to Black Lives Matter now a bunch of minority bystanders decided to get involved and the whole thing nearly spun out of control.

I'm always amused by people (liberals) who accuse the Republicans of being racists. Here we have a Dem president who has a well known race-baiting scoundrel, Al Sharpton, as an advisor.

Also this president ALWAYS!!! takes the black side in any black-white controversy frequently making stupid remarks before the facts are in.

How bad were race relations in 1995?

The worst part is the preferential treatment for education, jobs, and promotions spilling over into the birthrate; women who are OK with affirmative action (as potential beneficiaries) bemoan the lack of marriageable men, while men denied opportunity simply prolong childhood well into their thirties.

It is an economic war, and we are losing. The “beneficiaries” lose when all of the white guys are gone and nobody is left to pay for and fix everything.

. Does he feel guilty for not being black enuff? I mean he is 1/2 & 1/2.

Actually, that might be part of it. He didn't grow up with the "normal" black experience. No ghetto life for him. But most of his buddies are black and he likes (c)rap and other black music and hangs out with (c)rapsters.

And of course, as I previously mentioned, before all the facts are in he takes the side of the black person in any black-white confrontation. I doubt he ever said that some white kid that got shot and killed could have been his son.
