"Pretend"??

What does that even mean?
Doesn't "reconciliation" mean we all get along peacefully, and even like & enjoy each other?
You can't "pretend" that -- you either do or you don't.

Before Obama, whenever Democrats like Clinton or Carter were in the Whitehouse, racial tensions seemed to disappear, and even under Republicans like Reagan & the Bushes, it never got entirely out of hand.

For 46 years -- from 1968 to 2014, there were two major race riots (1980 Miami & 1992 LA).
In the 11 years since 2014 there have two more (2014 Ferguson & 2020 Floyd).
The Ferguson & Floyd "mostly peaceful protests" led to dozens of deaths and $billions in property destruction.
And yet they were not classified as mindless riots based on media lies, but rather as noble protests against something that all Americans should care about.

That's the Obama legacy at work.
