Probably election deniers would qualify.


Really? Yeah, Trump was an asshole at times, but Biden is actually worse, he trades in pumping tension into race relations for the benefit of himself and his party. Trump said some nasty stuff but it was usually irrelevant, Biden on the other hand sees great benefit in stirring the pot.

You need to get over Trump.

As a foreigner, let me say that prior to Trump being elected I REALLY believed the US had come to grips with racism, to the point of even having a black person as POTUS. I lived in DC for 5 years, and black/white made zero difference to me... I was simply interacting with Americans. I saw the construction of The National Museum of African American History & Culture, and visited the Martin Luther King Monument many times. Yes, things have changed in recent years. It certainly is possible that racism was stewing for some time, but I truly believe that Trump gave it an ugly voice.

How can a smart guy be so blind. Trump did nothing to hurt the black communities in America, what you don't get is that the Democrats, who previously had a 96% lock on the black vote keep race relations stirred up to insure that vote. Even Biden when running against Romney said that Mittens wanted to put black people back into chains, I guess that he knows little of his party's history. When Clinton lost to Trump the Democrats doubled down on pitting the races against each other, they effectively used the media to do so.... Do you remember "Hands up Don't Shoot!" even though the black community members who saw the Michael Brown shooting testified that he was charging the officer when he was shot, this after attacking the officer and trying for his gun. Let us not forget that Michael Brown was the size of a 300 pound bear and the officer was diminutive in comparison. The entire "Defund" effort has hurt the black communities as homicides in their communities have skyrocketed....

You just don't get it, you understand nothing of US politics.

The subject is racism, not politics. I see what I see, and I simply try to inform you. It would not hurt you to at least consider what, why and how the American image is projected and received around the world. It truly does matter.

All done at the hands of the media, you lived here and you didn't see it, in fact you lived in one of the worst cities in the country.... The media and democrat party stirs the pot and people react on both sides.....

Yes, I did live there in DC... and thank God it was BEFORE Trump became POTUS. I would have had a really tough time trying to maintain my composure while interacting with my American colleagues. ANY foreign leader who did not want to be blatantly rude smiled politely whenever Trump was the topic.

Yes, maybe so but what does that have to do with racism?

Yes, and racism is much worse since our great instigator organized communities to re-initiate and resurrect racism.

Sorry, I guess I digressed a bit into politics... again. My bad.

But US politics is the best reality TV show going... since 2015.

When asked what to do about racism, Morgan Freeman famously said, "Stop talking about it."
