In case you haven't noticed, "relations" of all kinds are bad all over the place. The Joos versus the Ay-rabs, the Muslins versus the Muslins, the Muslins versus anyone with half a brain, the black blacks in Trinidad Tobago versus the white blacks in Trinidad Tobago, the Ukraine bad guys versus the Ukraine bad guys, the spics versus the blacks, the spics versus the whites...it goes on and on.Chizzang wrote: So you don't think race relations are broken in the US..?
even after you posted a while back that Obama has made race relations worse

Yeah I've been to Chicago and Detroit but thats not exactly what I'm talking about
and this certainly isn't about me denying that Farakhan and Jessie Jackson aren't doing their fair share of damage
Its just an observation - made even clearer by this thread
Sh!ts broke
It used to be the Irish versus the Wops, the Wops versus the WASPS, the Germanic peeps versus the rest of the country, the Nips versus the rest of the country (we put them behind barbed wire, for Christ's sake), the blacks against the whites (we hanged them from trees, for Christ's sake), etc.
People routinely got dragged out and beaten or killed, so I am not under the impression that things are worse these days, unless you are getting dragged out and beaten or killed (or targeted by a missile).
As far as the 60's go, things might have been peaceful in some parts of the country, but in other parts there were riots and the national Guard was brought out.
So again, I don't believe things are worse as a whole. I do believe that incidents can flare up tensions (thanks, Obama), but you'd have to be very pessimistic to think that things are getting worse. Hell, that chump Steve Smith (I think it might be him...they all look alike) pimps for Oberto Beef Jerky, and I still eat the stuff.
History has shown that people, if given a small reason, will attack and kill "others" who are different. Theme du jour...color, religion, language,nationality, looks, disrespect...doesn't matter, really. All you need is a little spark. Always has been that way, always will be that way.
Nope, nothing new.
