re: Before all this woke stuff started several years ago, didn’t race relations seem good?

That's fine, and I'm going to make a guess that you're white and middle to upper middle class and don't interact with many black people outside of your social class(that's not a criticism of you as most people don't).

Yes and no.

I was not middle class when I was younger and grew up in a fairly poor neighborhood that was about 60% black in New Orleans. Many of my friends as a kid were black.

My dad got transferred to Houston, started making more money, and we became upper middle class and lived in a mostly white suburban area. But I played basketball and I was good. So I used to play on AAU teams and a lot of my teammates were black. Because of basketball, I was friends with black people all over Houston, both of the same social class and poor.

It was all good back then.

Surely there were problems, but I’m talking about race relations.

You "progressives" sure do make some pretty crappy assumptions about your enemies. It is amazing to watch you all violently attack or try to cancel people you hate, then discuss "unity".

Chances are REALLY good that the majority of the posters here, especially those in Lousiana, MS, Bama, live, work, and raise families right next to many different ethnic groups. You can argue the south is one of the most diverse areas anywhere in the world. Yet, somehow, according to you filth, everyone here is either racist or clueless, despite the evidence of the contrary.

People like you don't make things better for anyone.
