> Race relations have been set back to where they were when court mandated bussing messed up a lot of urban schools and neighborhoods.

I have to agree with this. Obama and his followers have set race relations back to the pre Abraham Lincoln era with a twist. We now have a much deeper appreciation for those that have made something of themselves that obey the law and act respectably. I can count many among those I call my friends. Several attend our church.

I spent seven years working in a predominantly black environment most days. I agree with you. Many blacks brought up in inner city environments, adults and children, are incredible. They get ahead knowing that in many cases they only get one strike, and don't use it up.

The problem is they've been much too silent about what is happening to their neighborhoods and culture. I doubt they'd be as quiet if a white president did all of these things to destroy them.
