On Race, No Hope or Change

The election of a black president has not reduced “racial tension.”

Dennis Prager "The greatest hope that most Americans — including Republicans — had when Barack Obama was elected president was that the election of a black man as the country’s president would reduce, if not come close to eliminating, the racial tensions that have plagued America for generations."....

Since neither black animosity nor the Left’s falsehood of “racial tensions” is based on the actual behavior of the vast majority of white Americans, nothing white America can do will affect the perceptions of many black Americans or of the leftist libel.

 

Mona Charen; Race in the Internet Age   "There’s another America that exists on the TV, the radio, and the cell-phone screen. There, the race baiters, provocateurs, rumormongers, and ratings-mad self-promoters hold court. It’s the dark underside of the nation."
