The "tolerant" progressives put us all in boxes and push identity politics.
The main stream media does not help things by fanning flames because it increases their bottom line.
I have a feeling that most true Americans see past all this BS and what you are seeing are fringe groups and the media keeps pushing what usually turns out to be nothing.

I don't know that it's so much worse as it is you hear so much more about it and then the vocal minority does stupid stuff.
The people I live and work around of varying races seem to get along fine.
I like all of them that don't act like assholes.

Very little racial tension in America. We have media and some small groups attempting to create chaos.

Last week I went down to see the in-laws with my wife and daughter. They are traditional, white Christians and some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We didn't watch the news much and pretty much did stuff around their 190 acres the entire time we were there. We went to church on Sunday and I saw all those amazing people that have loved on me from the day they met my daughter. We didn't even realize most of the stuff that was going on until Monday. We were too busy being a loving family and enjoying each other. If people took the time to enjoy their family and loved ones and life in general, the country and the world would be a far better place.

This. You finally have a generation of whites that were raised entirely post civil rights taking charge. I think previous generations were willing to cut them some slack for being "disadvantaged". Those born in the 70s are going to start calling bullshite.

Yep. Journalistic integrity has been dead since the OJ trial. Everything they do now has to do with divisiveness in order to boost ratings. Why do you think the "Red vs Blue" states didn't exist until 2000? CNN is estimated to have given Trump 2 billion dollars in free advertising during the Primaries and aired all of his rallies live and unedited. They wanted Trump to be the Republican candidate for the ratings and to guarantee Hillary the White House. That blew up in their fricking face, and I love it when Trump calls them out.
The media deliberately causing divisiveness with glorifying identity politics is what has fricked up the race relations.

This school is 70-30 black to white and not a single white kid was isolated. They all were hanging around, hugging, laughing and having a good time with black kids. I saw white boys holding hands with black girls and asian girls with black boys and groups of all just dancing and loving it. You'd think that this reality was the twilight zone according to people here

Obama. For me, his lack of action in letting blacks run wild rioting and handcuffing police- figuratively.

Y'all watch too much TV and take Soclal Media too seriously. I interact with Black People on a daily basis and there's literally no tension whatsoever.
Yea I work with black people, asians, Indians, whites, etc and have no issues whatsoever based on race. Most of this shite is overplayed by CNN and Fox News to appease their respective bases.
I'm not a conspiracy guy, but it's funny that the statues started coming down when congress is trying to frick internet freedom away. Almost like a distraction to get people fighting each other instead of shitty legislature...

It's not tense where I work and I work with hundreds of minorities. Same ol',same ol'.

How did we get to this level of racial tension in the US?
IMO it's the worst it's been since segregation and will continue to intensify.

racial tension?
charlottesville was a racially diverse group counter-protesting white supremacists (and i'm not defending their violence)
maybe people need to step back and recognize that this is an old white man problem.

Obama and media in that order. Racial tensions were made much worse during his presidency and the media harps on all things negative. It's really that simple.

Yeah, if old white men would only admit that simply being a white guy is grounds to dismiss every opinion they have, the world would be a better place
