In reply to the discussion: Has anyone found this to be true since President Obama was elected? [View all]RKP5637
(67,108 posts)27. After the 60's I thought it was slowly improving. At work I worked with many black people and
people of all nationalities. It all always went smoothly for the most part, but maybe that was because I was in hi-tech where that is often the common denominator.
What I have noticed is growing and growing hostilities. I attribute a lot of that to hate radio/tv/internet, hate jocks of all types on the radio/tv/internet. They fan the flames of separation.
Yes, I have noticed a sharp uptick in hostilities since Obama. IMO it's brought all of the racists out of the woodwork. We thought they had gone away, they hadn't. And I think they despise what they see as that uppity --- in the Whitehouse. It is pathetic, sad and disgusting.
Many in the US embarrass this country.

Do you mean it is more overt or just that it is being noticed more by more white people?

Fortunately I have not found that to be the case with my African American friends.
