What is wrong with us that we can not tolerate different races of people? We are so diverse that if we can't tolerate each other, what will America turn into? What happened to UNITED WE STAND?

Huh? Most Americans are actually pretty tolerant. The media likes to stir the racism pot, though. It makes for good TV.

I agree with you; but I don’t like United We Stand. Those three words can get us into trouble because there are too many situations that are uncovered or corrected by the few in number fighting to make right that which the majority had created.

This country and it’s people are not tolerate of others and it’s sad to see. I believe it has come about mainly because of this administration and their “fear propaganda”. Everyone is afraid of something now and unwilling to trust anyone. Trust has changed because of this government administration and their lies.

Look what happened in California last week with the police and the gathering in the park. I don’t know if the news media started that or not? Looked like the police stepped forward in error? But I don’t know enough of all the facts yet to fully understand what happened.

That happened because people stirred the pot. All humans are capable of doing horrific things, as a group, if they're worked into a frenzy.

This rally thing in LA was instigated by people in the rally themselves. They obviously thought they could throw rocks and bottles at the police and get away with it. The police were ordered to clear the park. I highly doubt there was any racism involved as Ill take a wild guess and say that the majority of the police force is made up of minorities, probably quite a bit hispanic.

There are always a few people that cause or start a problem. I need more information to know what happened to provoke the police. In any case it’s sad.
