Well the narrative across every news station is that black are treated unfairly and whites are racist.
No. There are like 50 of them on YouTube of the :20 clip. I just sent the whole thing to give context.

It’s super easy to find them. Again, no conspiracy.
Trump didn’t need context with his Muslim ban. He literally meant it exactly how he said it and said so dozens of times.

Common sense meter is about half full.
Let’s play somewhat nice folks. Generalized responses serve the purpose when we start to get angry
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

Please describe how white people have been treated worse than being slaves, the era of Jim Crow and the remnants of those ideologies today.
Simply amazing that anyone can believe that it is white people being overly persecuted and discriminated in America.
Slavery has been accepted as our nation's original sin. Are you denying that as a fact?
If we cannot even establish that black people and other minorities have experienced the overwhelming brunt of discrimination in our nation's history, then there is absolutely nothing that we can discuss. You are living in a fictional world.
An African American (black man if you prefer) was elected, twice, as the POTUS. Pretty overwhelmingly.
You said ongoing systemic racism. I disagree. That is your opinion, not a fact. I think the election I mentioned there pretty much proves that by itself.
IT is you choosing to live in a fictional world by trying to make a historical action prevalent today. It is not.
It’s all a matter of both perception and opinion. There will always be a disagreement. Most people in the minority would feel one way and probably A good portion of Whites are going to feel differently.
And it’s likely to be specific to where you live and other factors. For instance coaching staffs both white and black pretty much across the board believe in systemic racism and point to situations they have had to deal with in the course of coaching young men of color. That cannot be denied and supports the fact that it is a common held position. That’s not to be taking sides because where others exist and operate it may not be true in the least .
Why can’t we just except that in some areas and situations it might be true and in others not true. Lumping something into one pile and creating complete disagreement is often the true culprit in limiting constructive dialogue. Pretty much no opinion is without merit depending on where you are and what you have experienced.
Anger does no good at all.
