Keep milking the past because of .0001 percent of the population was responsible isn't gonna help your argument. |

Right, you condemn their action in principle, you just want them to be free to do it. So, maybe no one sells Native Americans shoes, because you don't REALLY need shoes. Or cloths, because hell you can make your own or go naked, right? I mean, if their religion believes that Native Americans are unclean and inferior, that should be fine, right? I mean, we'll condemn it in principle, while leaving the white majority free to do it anyway. Right? |

The past was barely 25 year so....Nashville was under a Federal Court order to desegregate, it took over a decade and a half...and even then, Jim Crow's "Official" death is only 50 years. Why is it the far right only think history is revelant since Obama took office? |

Are Blacks and other minorities better off today that 25 or 50 years ago? Progress has been made although not 100%. |

Oh, without a doubt progress has been made, but if there has been one constant thread in hate, it hides, unless given voice, Trump's rhetoric has had the unfortunate by-product of giving voice to hatreds once thought long buried. |

In the age of the Internet and in the aftermath of the failure of the Bush administration, these thoughts will not remain buried. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Civil rights laws at present would prohibit public facilities from discriminating on the basis of race. That is settled law which was passed for a good, pragmatic reason - such reason being the widespread discrimination African-Americans were experiencing. It was not aimed at Native Americans and shoes however, the racial provision would cover them as well. If there had been no widespread problems in the South regarding African-Americans being denied use of public facilities, then it is unlikely we would have passed such a law and, frankly, if no such problem existed, then we SHOULDN'T pass a law which solves a problem that society doesn't have. If the occasional bigot refused to sell shoes to an African-American or a Native American, then we would simply regard him as a lone idiot, not a social problem requiring congressional action. But we did have a problem much bigger than a few isolated bigots so we did take congressional action. And, yes, I frequently condemn actions in principle while standing up for the freedom of individuals to do them. That is how civil liberties work. Standing up for the rights of people whose actions you approve of is not a challenge. Standing up for the rights of those whose actions you condemn is the real test.

What a ridiculous comment. Is there any aspect of life you won't ignore if it serves you? |

Its a good point. Race relations are abysmal at the end of the Obama presidency. |

It's a brain dead point with no basis in reality, fact or reason. Between the politics that folks like you and Dr B insist be assigned and the amount of reality you have to ignore to do so it becomes a staggering task for either of you to separate the truth from your dishonestly soaked politics anymore.

Sorry comrade - the mainstream finds it relevant, despite your best attempts to sway the narrative. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=Race+relations+since+Obama That said - it like blaming a president for the economy, kind of stupid as long as the FED is in charge. Regardless its relevant. And if it riles up a few simple minded obamabots, well I suppose it has value. |

Not interested in opinion pieces or political hit pieces that pretend stats. Try asking those that live with the question of race relations everyday. Not those that were isolated until it was thrust out of "those" neighborhoods and 'into theirs'. |

Get real, both sides fan the flames of hate. This country never had a moment of long buried hatred since the founding days. If you are referring to the Klan, I suggest you look back about 30 years. The Klan has been reduced to a fly on the wall. You should be concerned about Black-on-Black and Black-on-white criminal activity. |

Race relations will stay exactly as they are or get even worse as long as incidents like this are ignored, seen as unimportant or rare by White America. https://www.yahoo.com/news/black-north-carolina-student-passes-150300237.html |
