Odd. I'm visiting here in Houston, Texas. No sign of struggle here other than everyone trying to recover from the hurricane damage. Had the opportunity to have a long informative chat with a Black American Uber driver who made no reference to racism. Had interaction with a Black American police officer - no reference to racism. People here seem very polite and respectful of one another. It may be politically expedient to stir the race pot but other than the inflamed liberal/left/progressives and opportunistic looters I see on the MSM, race relations in the US appear to be improving steadily. There are a lot of decent people both white and black who are getting on. There is nothing I have seen to support the notion of any backsliding. As has long been the case, no white person in their right mind is going to allow it - let alone black people. The MSM may highlight the ugly actions of the few but the many have nil tolerance of bigots. Trump may be a loudmouth but he's no racist.
