Poll: Majority of Americans think race relations are getting worse
The Washington Post ^ | 1/16/17 | Krissah Thompson and Scott Clement

Pessimism about race relations in America is higher than it has been in nearly a generation, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. In the aftermath of the mass shooting of police officers in Dallas and the high-profile police shooting deaths of two black men, in Baton Rouge and suburban St. Paul, Minn., more than 6 in 10 adults say race relations are generally bad, and a majority say they are getting worse.

This is what hate movements do. Liberalism is a hate movement.

Gee, what a shock.

Eight years of Obozo encouraging negros to act out, no prosecution allowed in multiple egregious cases..........no one thinks the P.O.S. made these things happen on purpose?

Fundamental transformation = negros running amok and no one does a thing, race relations go into the toilet.

Of course they are

One would have to be blind to believe otherwise. And eight years ago “WE TOLD YOU SO:

You stupid stupid people who fell for Obama’s evil smile, fake oratory and his BS slogans “Unity”

The POS and his cronies are the least bit interested in racial harmony. Just the opposite is what they seek. WE TOLD YOU SO

Trace it back to July 22, 2009.

On July 22, President Barack Obama said about the incident, “I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home, and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there’s a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.”

The whole “Black Lives Matter” controversy explains a lot on why Americans voted for Donald Trump and why race relations have been bad lately.

When one of your country’s two major political parties raises money off racism, there’s going to be racism.

Was this the Gates of hell?

I think we could have done without this gratuitous pan. Obama wasn’t trying to be diplomatic. He could have said he believed there could be “wiser” ways to address situations like Gates. But that would require upside thinking, something that Obama apparently seems incapable of. We think Carter gave us malaise, well Obama got America upchucking.

And the other party is continually dodging accusations of racism whether or not true.

When you have a job that depends on racism existing, you are going to find racism everywhere.

See when there is no actual racism, you say there’s racism that you can’t see going on. Called micro aggressions. To keep your job relevant.

And if you can’t find it, because it isn’t there, you create a fake hate crime and eventually get found out.

If there’s no racism there’s no leech job for these people. And every single liberal job requires conflict to exist because they all depend on there being “struggle” because struggle implies the need to work for change. No struggle, no change needed, they’re unemployed and irrelevant.

So this is why they fake the hate crimes and fake things in order to stir up hatred based on their false lies and false actions. They create non-existant struggle and conflict in order to be in power to control the change. It’s the dialectic and if their enemies are not doing anything to struggle against, they will just fake create the conflict and attempt changes they want. Based on staged lies.

Eight years of talking about slavery. Slavery hasn’t been talked about so much in 50 years. That’s how they keep the hate alive.

“Eight years of talking about slavery. Slavery hasn’t been talked about so much in 50 years. That’s how they keep the hate alive.”

And just last week we read some AA yo-yo “professor” saying we “whiteys” need to have “individual reparations accounts” (IRA’s) and all of us give “deserving Blacks” little stipends on an ongoing basis to assuage our guilt about all these “black slaves” we have running around the country in need of a handout.

I’m not the slightest bit ‘glum’. I have never owned ‘slaves’, I don’t feel the slightest bit guilty, and I don’t owe any negroes one thin dime. Suck it up, buttercup.

NO POLL NEEDED.

Turn on TV.

RACE is always a topic.

The left, led by Obama made race a issue at every opportunity. The Dem party can’t afford for blacks to leave the plantation as that is a major source of their power.
