I would not say it was because of the election though that did play a big part. Once Obama was elected, I did get to see the true colours from individuals whom I thought were my friends

Yes. NOT because we have a black, African-American president. Because we have an anti-colonialist, Marxist, Muslim, revolutionary, black, African-American president.

What do you mean by that? Details?

I've noticed that white people that I grew up with in a white suburb openly talk about feeling guilty for being white. Even white females. And yet, at our high school reunion just five years ago, they had made an extra effort to track down one of the black METCO program students we went to school with... and the one they found told us all very clearly that the rest of the black kids on the bus with him were "pure garbage people" and to forget them.

And while white liberals are feeling guilty, I see no change in behaviours or attitudes with the black community. They aren't feeling grateful for the rest of the country for voting for Obama twice. They still make no efforts in creating stable family units for raising their children better. And the parents aren't trying harder to be better parents and have their children show respect to their teachers and work harder on their homework. I see the black community doing business as usual, having riots with smash and grabs whenever they have the opportunity to.

And when black mothers are on the camera to tell the nation that their dead son was a good boy, and the rest of the black community nods their head as they hold up signs with pictures of that boy when he was only 8 or 12 years of age... it just makes me sick to my stomach. How can anyone take those mothers seriously at all? Of course every mother will say that their child was great, even if they were a bad apple. That's just what mothers and fathers do. And even Charles Manson was an appealing looking child when he was 8 years old.

Then all these news conferences are just carefully staged PR moves by the families' ambulance chasing lawyers.

Why would anyone feel grateful to you or anyone else who voted for Obama? You voted for your own interests, not any interest of "black people." If you had voted for the other guys, perhaps your own lives would have been worse than they are now. Obama voters voted for him because they wanted to do so - and because the other side didn't present a better alternative.

The continually dumb generalizations and blatant, unabashed racism of your posts never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah, because everyone knows that any time a cop shoots one of those evil black devils (黑魔王), they deserve it.

What I find interesting is that the only when Obama became president did "anti-colonialist" became a bad quality for a politician to have. Why was George Washington lionized for resisting colonialism and Obama, whose father resisted British colonialism in his country, condemned for his father's beliefs? I guess it's because blacks are supposed to be colonized, while whites are not.

Poll: African Americans Think Race Relations Have Gotten Worse Since 2009 | National Review Online
I really don't even understand the idea of race relations not how I could possibly know if they are getting worse.

That is one of those polling questions that get asked that I don't understand.

The question isn't race relations. It is racism. Is racism against black Americans getting better and even that is an impossible question to answer on an individual basis, but at least that would be a question I understood.

If I had to hazard a guess at the results of the poll if the poll is real and the results are being accurately relayed is that black Americans see the manner in which President Obama is being treated, see the attack against their voting rights, and some may think race relations aren't that great, but who knows.

The way I see it, race relations were never that good to begin with. President Obama doesn't have to do anything to divide people. We are already there, and were already there to begin with. All I have to do is start with so many threads here constantly complaining about Black Americans. Threads like "Blacks always vote Democrat" or "Blacks commit so much crime" and so on. We were already there.

There is no way to accurately quantify how good or bad race relations are, so we could argue all day and one side would never convince the other.

One thing we do know is that the constant false accusations of racism that come from the left set the stage for deterioration. Whether deterioration has actually taken place--there's no way to know.
