Black White relations are at a 20 year low

[Mick]

I would think it goes without saying. I wonder what this portends for the Presidential race?

I don’t know. I’m just an old fat white guy and I have found that in the last few months I have had more good conversations on race with friends who happen to be black than I had in years before.

I’m probably the exception. I know.

IT’S A BS POLL. BUT I PROMISE YOU THERE ARE PLENTY OF BROWN AND YELLOW VOTERS WHO WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BUSY WINNING TO BE RIOTING.

“I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I

I disagree completely. This kind of poll ALWAYS comes out at election time because Dems have zero good reasons to convince black voters to continue to support them.  Their only claim is that if you are not a Dem you are a racist therefore vote for us.  I would hope that people of any minority would wake up before election time and realize that the Dems have never had a policy or policies similar to Trump`s and other republicans that would provide an inroad to economic parity or parity itself.

I would and could declare confidently that 99.99% of caucasian people have not had their views on racial relations change one iota for years and that there are as many racists of color percentage wise as caucasians.  It is a phony canard and an election ploy of long standing and ill repute.

Assuming the poll is accurate, it is another data point proving 60 years of social engineering has failed.

bingo BD.

 

Also, if people are told every day, this a racist country, and we are all guilty and responsible for every bad thing that happens to people of color, then we might start thinking relations are tense.

GPN38, Mick, each day there seems to be increasing evidence that we are in fact subject to a racist political class.  Further, it is increasingly clear that one of our major parties is not only embracing said racism, but they are reaching out actively to build coalitions with racists elements.  I can only hope this is the result of a morally bankrupt “win at all costs” mind set that will be rejected by the electorate.  I honestly can’t imagine how these interactions can be explained away and I hope the candidates who have embraced this crap are dead politicians walking.

How can Joe rationalize taking a meeting with a Farrahkan supporter? An anti semite?
