Stop with the race relations crap. It'll never get any better than it is now and you all know it. And frankly, why should it? For the millionth time, WE DON'T ALL HAVE TO LIKE EACH OTHER!
We only have to share a country and stay out of each other's way. That's easy enough, ain't it?
You just condensed all of the best logic for differing races and tribes living in different countries. Nations / informal territories were originally formed because we didn't like each other and couldn't stay out of one another's way.
As you alluded to, it'll never get any better than it is or, if we are being honest, than it was. Sure, we might cycle through some more tolerant stages but I predict that these stages are precisely part of an inevitable cycle.
Also, if we are essentially going to live in a constant state of cold war with one another, then what is the point exactly?
Sharpton, Jackson and his ilk can be ignored since they are only in it for the money. Obama cannot and has made race relations worse.
The best solution for helping race relations is to get the government out of fanning the flames. We should remove all government race reporting and race questions on government forms.
The government is in the business of creating racial categories not doing away with them.
Race relations have been "tumbling" since the late 1980s.
They will continue to drop.
The racial grievance industry and those who are devoted to having a race war have become too numerous. AND too well-funded.
It looks bleak.
You're looking at the future of race relations. You're already living it.
America is a dysfunctional family. Hatred, bigotry and mistrust is in our national DNA. That'll never change because we don't want it to change.
The "Obama made race relations worse" nonsense is a canard. People are using that as an excuse for their own ingrained hatreds that they've been nursing long before Obama ever became a politician. They'd be just as hateful if Romney or McCain had won.

Whatever government does will not change my relations with my friends, co-workers and neighbors regardless of their race. Turn off the damn TV set, step away from the computer and spend some time with people.
The blood of those cops executed in NY and in Ferguson is on Obama's hands. He fanned the flames of "white racist cops are just out hunting down black kids" myth by clearly taking the side of the thug every time, consistently, starting with Angel Trayvon. Obama is a horrible racist. Just as Holder/Sharpton. When Black Panther intimidated voters he and Holder's DOJ didn't move a finger. When there's a hate crime game against whites called Knockout Game that's killed and maimed people for life - they don't move a finger. When Ferguson cops write "too many" (I'm sure they weren't making up violations out of thin air) traffic tickets to blacks - it's a huge federal investigation and forced reform of the PD. And how did the whole Ferguson affair come up? O, another angel Michael Brown robbed a store. Ahh.. minor detail.
Do these people really think we're stupid? We don't see the double and the triple standards and we don't who's really getting the special treatment?

The pgovernment needs to get out of the race business. When I apply for a job, I shouldnt be required to tell them Im a white man. Its time we had equality again.

So much truth here, & its logic is nearly flawless.

The point is, as desertdetroiter so succinctly yet eloquently put it, 'We're living it.' 'Time traveling' is not an option nor solution. We can't change or revise the parts that make us uncomfortable, although we can choose whether or not we want to celebrate those parts. C'mon, be reasonable, it serves no purpose to deny our common biology & history. Although this begs the question, does it really make sense to celebrate the Confederate States of America? We are still The, albeit precariously, United States of America. Vive la differences. After all, the diversity in the natural world is celebrated, why can't we? It demonstrates our strengths as well as our beauty.

This is a brave idea & is, IMHO, one of the best parts, our people. C'mon, give functionality a chance. At the very least, attempt to see the 'fun' in our collective dysFUNction. & you gotta admit this election cycle provides ample opportunities to do so.
