The extremes sides will continue to ramp up the hostility, that is what they know, that is all they know.
BUT do we need the presidents help to make it even worse?
No, however you already knew that. Love how you don't want to place any blame other than Trump. Like I stated extremists are all hurting this country, however they really don't give a damn.
There are others I suppose on both sides but don't you think it starts at the top ?
One of the things I really disliked about Obama's second term was how he responded to BLM. The racial disparity in sentencing, esp for drug crimes, is a national disgrace .... I'm all for stopping that, and Obama and Holder did the nation a service in moving forward on that.
But cops of all races are involved in stopping people and investigating. Yes blacks are disproportionately stopped in some instances. But not all. If I'm an old white guy driving at night in a place where old white guys aren't usually, they should stop me. And, both whites and blacks get stopped in areas where they are the majority. I think Obama painted with too broad a brush.
And some of his comments may have encouraged violence against cops.
But I suspect some folks who faulted Obama, give Trump a tiny thump up.
