I am 29 and just cannot remember them ever being as bad as they are now. For he older folks, are we in 1960s America now?

If politicians unify race relations then they have no one to take advantage of.

1986...shite, what were the race problems then? This is beyond anything of my lifetime. This is turning into a normal thing. It is not stopping. Obama is not preventing it at all. Leaders are taking sides. People are using gut emotions and filling social media with false narrative.

Remember when there were people who were confused as to how race had anything to do with these shootings?

This ain't shite compared to the 80's. Things seem worse because these cases get blown up due to video and social media, but these incidents are much more rare than they were back in the day. I grew up in Compton and police brutality was 1,000x worse back in the 80's and 90's. We just didn't have video evidence. That's why Rodney King was such a huge deal. There was finally proof that black people in LA were being abused by the LAPD.

He's partially to blame but social media and the media itself has had more of an impact than he has.

Obama is the biggest race baiter that the american people have had the misfortune of serving as their President.

His administration is responsible for all of this. He's done more dividing than any President in my lifetime. He's not a voice of reason at all.

Can you not say now, with your heart in your hand, that the white man is politically mandated to be in vias of rapid extinction, in this country? I don´t think you can.

He's been very divisive in addition to being a horrible president. And HRC will only make it worse.

Do you know ice cube? I will total fan girl on you.

Serious now- I'm 44 and you're right, that said in my small town(s) experience this is the most uncomfortable I can remember ever personally feeling. I'm not scared but I'm closer than I ever have been.
