The speculation about racial motives is misguided and counterproductive to any real dialogue.

What world are you living in, Radind???
There's a lot of scared people that would sure like to join you.
Unless, of course, your world is call "ignorance is bliss"

I am living in the real world. There are too many projections about large groups of people. There are nut cases on both sides ( recall the acts of violence at Trump rallies and the current street violence).
There is a problem when acts by a few are attributed to the group at large ( regardless of which side is considered).
I try to look at the data and not make too many assumptions and speculations.

Many people did not like Obama's policies , but that had nothing to do with race.
Unfortunately we live in a country divided by totally different worldviews and I don't see a solution. It would help to have tolerance on both(all) sides.

Self reflection of damaging behaviour that helps with dividing people and the nation as a whole. Correcting it. Listen more and try to understand these people and find a solution together. But first and foremost how we converse with each other is number one. Shoot down labels need to stop.

You are correct. It probably helps one's perspective to be a citizen of another country. Keep the dialogue flowing.
