I don't think the racial tension in America is as bad as the media portrays...

But, pretty much every city in the country is clearly racially segregated. Do you think there will ever be actual racial and cultural integration? Or are we more or less heading towards "black states" and "white states".

The question is, and it is the only question that matters, is that segregation by force or choice?

It’s not.

Not 100%. It would be impossible to do without all races losing everything that is unique to them. But we could get to the point where everyone has an understanding that folks are meant to be different.

The poors segregate racially. Everyone else segregates by socioeconomic class.

I believe it’s pretty much one sided. But still not as bad as it’s made to be.

I’m not so sure about that. Jon Minadeo is doing everything he can to keep the people divided.

Depends on how many multifamily housing units are allowed to be zoned and built in affluent areas...

It's social-economics that separate people nowadays not race...

it's the narrative the media wants you to believe but at the end of the day the elected leaders have failed on multiple levels in certain communities despite promises they make every single election cycle

if things are so bad then why haven't Obama and Biden improved the situation since they have had more time then any other elected leaders recently and all the Democrat governors and mayors in these states and cities that have failed to make any progress despite dominating the political climate as of late

People tend to want to settle and be amongst people who share the same cultural values as them...I'm not sure why we have to see that as a negative

Anyone else find it fascinating that the death of unarmed black people by police just stopped being an issue in 2021.

Birds of the same feather flock together.

I can’t see some black fellas riding back roads drinking beer listening to old country music. (yes I know some do)

Same as you’d never see me playing basket ball cause I’m a short fat white fella.

Its not...its also not non-existent as many pretend. Its about like it has been my entire 59 years. I think overall minorities are treated better than they were when I was a kid but there is still some racism and racial tension and I don't know that it'll ever get much better.

This is far more true in the north than in the south
