Are you seriously asking why a lot of white Americans thought relations with black people had gotten worse whilst the first (and only) black POTUS was elected and running the country? I'll guess at insecurity, white-privilege declining and downright racism but I don't know for absolute sure. What do you think? 

 

 

So only white people are rascist?  What exactly is white privilege?

What do white people have the privilege of, exclusively?

I believe AP as much as you believe Fox.

 

Never said he signed the order.

IMO it definitely was, and the post speech analysis speakers also commented about that.

Nasty again

Last time I was called nasty was in second grade by a girl seated in front of me when I picked my nose and placed a burger on her chair.

Punished by the Catholic nun with a ruler across my knuckles.

 

Maybe I’m due again.

To the left, a forklift driver making $12 dollars an hour is privileged because they are white, while Oprah and President Obama are oppressed, because they are black.

i think you'll find there are many race baiting & divisive outlets in the US, i'd say most of the division has been caused by the left wing msm. 

Not true. The fake news right wing media outlets are the ones causing the problems. Racist and sowing hate. Just like their cult leader Trump.

You watch Fox? 

 

He did a lot better than I expected, but there was not much he said that I support. Mostly pandering for votes and attacking Trump. 

You don't think Trump panders for votes and attacks Biden? Along with anyone who doesn't praise him?

like i said..lots of left leaning Trump hating pages, and as i also said i wasn't going to waste my time trying wading through. it's probably easier to find things on Twitter now Musk has got rid of all the liberal activists, however i don't use it that much so not familiar with it.

Twitter is filled with misinformation and hatred. Avoid it like the plague

no, you have't disproven it at all, it's, as usual, brushed under the carpet, or covered up. if only the media treated the Dems with the same contempt they do Trump, we'd get a good insight into how corrupt many politicians are (and rep for that matter)

Not during a State of the Union address.

I didn't disprove anything . A GOP led enquiry did though.

Yes, I am seriously asking why a majority of both white and black Americans felt race relations in the US were good prior to the Obama Administration, and what that number seemed to be increasing until halfway though the Obama's Administration at which point it nosedived. Any ideas?

 

 

Other than what I've already suggested, no.

I'm not here for your education. If you don't know what white privilege is then I suggest you Google it.

 

And no, I'm not suggesting only white people are racist. Stop with the gaslighting.

That is so not what it means. It's little wonder you guys get so confused about matters. 

 

You could have Googles this yourself but here you go - 'White privilege is the inherent advantages possessed by a white person on the basis of their race in a society characterized by racial inequality and injustice'.

 

Neither Oprah nor President Obama may have been 'oppressed' but that doesn't mean that an awful lot of black people in America weren't and still are.

Because that's the important part of course. How Kamala was, not how great Biden was.

So, it is your position that the United States is characterized by racial inequality and injustice, and by your definition, indeed the forklift driver making $12 dollars an hour in my example is privileged because they are white, and both Oprah and President Obama are deprived of that, because they are black.

Yet the same people elected a black man as President, and the percentage of both black and what people that thought race relations were good continued to increase until after President Obama was reelected, and then it plummeted. So the same people that elected him and reelected him suddenly turned into white supremacists. That makes perfect sense.
