There was less racial tension when you grew up, because people put up with racism more and with the advent of social media platforms to share experiences, the true extent is coming out now. Or we can chalk it up to 'that never happened in my day'.Every person in this country should wish for every POTUS be better in every way shape and form than the previous one. Obama has fallen so short of the bar it's sad. He came in with so many people wanting him to do great things. Instead he has done the opposite. I'm not sure what he was trying to do with his agenda but it has caused great harm that will take decades to fix in some cases, specifically with regards to race.
Our country is more racially divided than we have been in decades. I grew up in a mostly black neighborhood area. I dated black girls in high school and black women prior to meeting my wife. Several of my friends parents who are black introduce me to people as their son and I call them Mom and Dad. There was never one racial issue in our community growing up. Sadly I read comments in a few news boards in that community now and far to many are racial in nature. I don't think I was naive growing up to issues of race we just didn't have them. I now live in a more rural community pop around 8,000. I expected to hear more racial jokes, phrases ect because of small rural community reputations. I'm glad to say I haven't. I know there are people that are racist in every color and across all barriers. It saddens me that as a man in his 40's that this has became such a volatile time in our country over racial divide. Obama could have went down as one who picked up the torch that great uniters in the past and took it farther but instead he has divided us to a point where it will take years if not decades to fix.
Lol don't kill the mouse in my living room because that's inhumane, but bombing a country that allready is suffering from radical terrorists, where probably the majority is innocent and want this shit just to end to try and live a "normal". HELL FUCKING YEAH?!HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!!!!!
I agree but did the mouse suicide bomb people, cut their heads off, etc Etc etc. I don't like civilian casualties either but I'm sick of these fucks and something needs to be done.Lol don't kill the mouse in my living room because that's inhumane, but bombing a country that allready is suffering from radical terrorists, where probably the majority is innocent and want this shit just to end to try and live a "normal".

It makes me sad that people are doing this to each other in the name of whatever fuck, color of skin, religion, money, power, influence.
Let's just say 30% of what's walking around in syria are terrorists do you consider a rate of over 70% of innocent people a justifiable amount of collateral damage?I agree but did the mouse suicide bomb people, cut their heads off, etc Etc etc. I don't like civilian casualties either but I'm sick of these fucks and something needs to be done.
Oh and don't forget in that same post I said I like animals better than humans and I meant it.
No I actually don't want 70 percent to die and yes that is way too much collateral damage BUT if they can't tell the good from the bad what do you want them to do? And I know humans are animals but psst I will let you in on a secret humans suck.Let's just say 30% of what's walking around in syria are terrorists do you consider a rate of over 70% of innocent people a justifiable amount of collateral damage?
I just made up these percentages just to make my point maybe it's higher, maybe it's lower.
There should be something done, but i couldn't tell you what, if you bomb the shit out of that country, there will be others that take there place and history is showing us they will probably be worse.
Pssst by the way,
I'll let you in on a secret, please keep it to yourself, humans are actually animals.
Can you elaborate on why you think Obama has anything to do with the issues between local law enforcement and communities and their underlying tensions?Every person in this country should wish for every POTUS be better in every way shape and form than the previous one.

I think your analysis of this change you perceive is a little insular. Whether black people actually confided in you about anxieties or fears about oppression in the 80s doesn't mean those feelings didn't exist.I grew up in Peoria Il. Went to a mostly black High School in the mid 80's. I never once remember any of my black friends nor their families saying anything about racial problems other than older ones speaking about the 50's and 60's. We were people of all colors living life. Granted we had issues as every community does but never ones with racial overtones.
What we have become a Nation as of late that is making every issue into a racial one which takes away from instances when there are racially motivated. It's become the little boy who crys wolf.
I adore you Z. Dammit.There was less racial tension when you grew up, because people put up with racism more and with the advent of social media platforms to share experiences, the true extent is coming out now. Or we can chalk it up to 'that never happened in my day'.
Perv Nation! Alive and well.I want to marry this chic because she's sexy as fuck, fiesty, hates terrorists, and I bet she's an animal in the sack.
