If it barely affects you, why is it important to constantly complain about Black people?
Maybe because black people constantly complain about white people? Even the President of the United States can barely make a statement without referencing our country's history of unequal treatment, racism, etc. It's constant.

Really?

I've seen lots of statements from President Obama. They cover a wide array of topics.

I don't know why the media has such an intense focus on race relations in the U.S. Race relations are far better here than in most other countries. For example, Israel is a racial supremacist nation that has been thwarting non-Jewish immigration for quite while, and of the refugees who are already there, has been sterilizing them or paying them to leave for European nations such as Sweden. Can you see the U.S. doing something that xenophobic anytime soon?
All this "race relations" hysteria is media driven, and is relatively benign compared to most other nations.

Jews run the media, hence the situation.
It's not about "race relations." When is the last time you saw a prime time CNN piece of Mexican-Black relations?
Asian-Black relations maybe?
Jewish-Muslim relations?
Not never.
It's about wealthy Zionist Jews who despise working class white people.
Race relations in this country are a joke. As someone who is Brazilian-American and do no really fit into any of the pre-established ethnic categories defined by the US Government, sometimes I just have to laugh at some of the things I have experienced.
My parents speak Portuguese and I have given up on trying to explain to so many ignorant people that I don't speak Spanish and I come from a different culture, yet, I still get the "Hola, como estas?". People are so incredibly ignorant.
I live in Iowa, I like country music, drive a pick up truck, I am a staunch Conservative yet I people make the assumption that because I am "non-White", I must be a Lib or a Democrat.
I have lived in this country most of my life, I love it, would not want to live anywhere else but it is hard to feel comfortable here when you are surrounded by so much ignorance coming from all different races.
I assume many/most of us have friends/coworkers/acquaintances who are black/white (the opposite of whatever you are). I'm also going to guess that many of us here feel (you may or may not) that race relations have taken a backward step in the last few years.
Have your feelings on the macro state of race relations in the US impacted your more personal dealings with people of another race?
Do you care?
On the micro level, mine have not, but on the macro level, I've definitely become more cynical and negative towards hood rats, protesters and race baiters.
No.
The white|black dichotomy is irrelevant to the brown man.
