Let me tell you from experience-race relations were MUCH worse forty years ago.Riots were breaking out nearly daily.Schools were battlegrounds.Both whites and blacks were in dire fear of one another.
Are things good now.NO,of course not.Still lots of distrust and animosity on both sides.Yet I lived through the 1964-1970 period.Those were some frightening times!
I never had those problems here in Indy. I would say race relations are worse now.
I suppose it depended on where you lived at the time. I believe there was a time in the 80’s where people were getting beyond race. It is always kept refueled by the Democrats.
This election cycle has proved that. People are as equal as they believe themselves to be. The only people, doesn’t matter what race, that see themselves as second class citizens are those that use the argument to create guilt in others in order to gain something.
