Social media plays a huge part in this. Everyone has something to say, no matter how ignorant it may be. Social media gives idiots a platform to display their idiocy.
It also gives those idiots a way of coordinating and meeting up in one place. In the past, everybody knew a quiet kid with a weird nazi fetish. Everyone knew an angry black dude. Everyone knew a guilty white liberal who viewed him/herself as the savior of black people. Now these isolated idiots know how to find each other and take a collective dump on the world the rest of us have to live in.

His absolutely biggest F.U. to whitey and LE was sending the Attorney General of the USA to stand in solidarity and support Michael Brown. Little did he know, hands up dont shoot was totally made up. But Obama was trying to show out for his race rather than govern a nation in its entirety.
Ppl sure like to blame Obama for everything...
When the damn President is undermining law enforcement, there's a serious problem.

A cocktail of identity politics, resentment, media agenda, jealousy, existing racism from every race, anger, lack of responsibility, and greed.
All amplified by social media.

compare race relations in this country from 2000-2008 to race relations in this country from 2009-2016. Now what , or who, could have caused the difference?
I know we have some shitty fans but don't put that on us.

The media fanning the flames... it's always been simmering, and there will ALWAYS be a certain level of racial tension. There can't help but be. But the media fans and fans and fans until everything explodes. Obama helped fan the flames some as well.

Time, it heals all wounds. Everything is cyclical and it will go away and return and go away again. Gen Z is coming of age during this time and they are going to have enough of it, it does nothing to advance our lives and they actually recognize that in studies done.
