There has always been a divide. I truly believe it is less now than in the past. Crime is at its lowest in almost half a century as is interracial crime. However, social media and 24 hour news can make even the slightest transgression much larger than it really is.


I agree with this. First all the hatemongering that goes on (RE: media narratives and social media echo chambers), day to day interactions for me and mine irl have been as undisturbed as ever.

The dropped-on-their-head SJW's would claim that's because of your "white privilege."

Assuming of course that you're white, and your whiteness is the reason you can go through you daily grind undisturbed by the po-po

There wasn't social media in the 60s. Been like this for a while you just see it more because of the Internet


Actually things are way better now than ever. But the media thrives on fear and division. Showing the good in the world doesn't sell papers or get eye balls or clicks/shares/likes/comments.

So basically the question posed by OP is based on a false premise

In the late 60's the country was extremely divided, no? But there is no way that the country was even close to being as divided as it is now back then right?


Wrong.

Yeah that part gave me a good chuckle. How ignorant of American history can one person be?
