Many serious Americans are distressed by what they see going presently regarding matters of race. They are perplexed by the obvious anger and hatred directed by some against others, including examples of random people being beaten in various places following the Zimmerman verdict, "for Trayvon". They see entertainers boycott an entire state because of what the entertainers absurdly claim is racism, the result of a verdict in a grossly manipulated case in which the black "victim" purposefully initiated a beating on the "cracka" who then shot him. The jury wasn't fooled. The system worked, even if the malcontents did not get the result their prejudices demanded.
These tens of millions of serious Americans live good, decent, non-racist lives. They have been willing participants in the social reformation of our country, from what it was up to the 1960's, to what it is now. They embraced the message of Dr. King, and happily placed content of character over skin color, not because it would be risking wide-scale disapproval not to, but because it was right.
But these days, every time they turn on the television, it is as if the world they live in is a lie, and only white racism exists. Nor is this new. In fact, after so many cases of fabricated evidence and faked outrage, championed by the same pathetic cadre of pathological liars, many have begun to question exactly what process they have been part of for the last 50 years. Some have become disillusioned, realizing just how far apart the races have become despite their sincere efforts and intentions. Didn't everyone want the same thing? Wasn't this all supposed to be about equality?

It’s simple. Take the money out of it.
Answer: Blacks could behave well.
That’s where it needs to start.
Until then, STFU.
People do want the same thing, money and power. Sadly not equality. Those in power use racial hatred to make themselves rich and powerful. Slavery is alive and well, and in this case it is so insidious that the enslaved don’t even realize their plight.
One-way tickets to Mars for Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Skip Gates, Sheila Jackson Lee, etc. etc. etc.
If the question is, 'How can we fix race relations?' there is a simple answer. We can't.
At last, an honest appraisal of the state of race relations in this country. Refreshing to say the least.
Race relations will be what they are as long as the Left controls the media and the agenda. I see no end to that in sight. And even if that somehow changes, it would take generations to have an effect.
We would do best by refusing to participate in the discussion even if that means just ignoring the Trayvon-Zimmerman stories. The blacks believe that Zimmerman attacked Trayvon. The evidence shows just the opposite. The MSM agrees with the blacks. Forget doing anything about that very soon. Move on. Study Quantum Mechanics or something useful.
Whites faced up to their race mistakes decades ago. Now it’s blacks’ turn. When that happens, we can start making progress. Until then, it’s all just chin music.
“Behave better”...
Well, most of that behavior has negative consequences.
Most of that behavior is also the result of having those negative consequences alleviated at the expense of others.
The second generation of “urban” folk that have kids out of wedlock and don’t have full bellies will start teaching their kids to not have kids without being married.
P.S. - I am wary of hoodies whether worn by black or white punks!!
Yes, it contained many truthful points. Yet it neglected the most prevalent and basic of truths. Race relations will not be ‘fixed’ because blacks are too invested in ‘victimism’. It is that simple.
You should have included this paragraph in your excerpt:
If the question is, ‘How can we fix race relations?’ there is a simple answer. We can’t. We who believe in equality didn’t break the contract. We have never been welcome in the “national discussion” the left pretends to want because we are not willing to play their game. Our part, as seen by the left, is to endlessly admit to sins we have never committed, and to pay for those sins in whatever way liberal agitators demand. Honest people have come to understand that truth is not welcome in this discussion. Our role is to accept blame, show repentance, and pay up. Those who do not accept this role are falsely accused of wishing to perpetuate oppression that they neither practice nor see practiced by others like them.

Nail. Meet Hammer.
Simple. Stop talking about it.
Step one is to bravely tell the truth. Jeffrey T. Brown has joined that process...
Exactly.
Black culture is so broken, the only safe assumption is that essentially all blacks are dangerous.
If you guess wrong, you could easily pay with your life. So you lock the doors, cross the street, and leave the neighborhood. Quickly.
In my humble opinion race relations are just fine.
when the race baiters stick a stick in the bee hive because they need turmoil then people start asking. What am I missing?
JMHO
Haven’t read it, but we can’t.
Not as long as it serves the Marxists (race baiters, politicians, media) political purposes to foment hatred and division by promoting, spreading, and selling lies.
They will not quit until we have the race riots of the ‘60’s - or worse.....
Good situational awareness. But I'd be more wary of black thugs wearing hoodies than white thugs. White so-called "thugs", generally being cowardly pu**ies, want to look like they're bad-ass ghetto punks, but most of the time are fairly harmless (at least the ones I've encountered are). They walk the walk, but can't speak the Ebonics. OTOH, black thugs have shown their willingness, over and over again, to beat the living crap out whomever they so choose, as evidenced by the "knockout game".
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
We don’t fix it.Post Slavery Stress Disorder is in the genes as well as being a multi-trillion dollar industry.Even after there’s not a white person left in this country it will continue.
