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

I noticed people of all races got along just fine
For the people that say this, I wonder how many actually have meaningful conversations about race relations with their black friends, co-workers, colleagues, etc. Because I do agree on a day-to-day basis in everyday life, things seem fine. But what is the life like for the black woman I joked around with at the store the other day? While our interaction was fine, how often does she face prejudice in her life? How often has she been the victim of racism in her life?
Maybe she hasn't experienced much of it, but it is something to ponder.

Maybe most people don't have "race relations" on their mind 24/7. Most people just live their lives. Do or have some gotten a bad break? Absolutely. Nobody ever said life is or would be fair.

I'm Hispanic and we had a friend of my wife who is a black lady live with us for 2 months after her house burned. I feel like you are that classic white bubbly man who grew up in a gated community and now preaching about race, like others have said on here. I bet you lock your car door when you see black people walk by.
