So,

I've been having a pessimistic view of race relations in the USA currently. I really want them to be better so that we'll have less racially-charged outbursts of violence, and that people will get along with one another. However, it is a complex issue as well.

How would you solve racial tension and violence?

The best choice is to sift immigrants and endorse knowledge and assimilation to the American culture. Most of the time, the reason there are racial tensions is because of their differing culture.

Get rid of the elites on the left, a lot of it in this day and age is caused by rich liberals with nothing better to do. They need to be sent away from positions of power and in organizations such as BLM.

Ummm....No.

A lot of problems of race relation problems is between a couple things.
1. Passed down from family. Essentially your family having a negative outlook on races due to their experiences (grandmother being a slave, teacher her kids white people = bad)
2. Media. When you get this concept in the back of your head as black people steal, murder, commit crimes it can affect your judgement. When you see things about black people in the news, or in movies being portrayed as bad, it creates this picture in your head.

I feel like it will be hard to fix. In media stop portraying certain races as their expected stereotypes, stop having people promote racism. It is a problem that is by no means easy to fix, and may never be fixed.

so are you asking for the media to stop reporting on crimes, because blacks are portrayed as criminals more often than other groups?
most racism that's promoted in modern media, is against whites, not blacks, or latinos, or other minorities.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

Of course not, I just feel that the media can be biased, though I wasn't quite talking purely of the news. I mean in terms of movies/tv and stuff. Blacks are typically portrayed in a stereotypical fashion.

Like I said, the situation is super complicated, and it is probably something that will just have to settle after awhile.

Is this because some of the US news we been talking about and both of are views of all the racist stuff in the US we been posting on one the other profiles? lol
I just had to ask?


Well like you and me both talked about think it is wrong that the US likes to group people just by there race and all the news there of racist stuff is just making things more worse there.

Just how I would fix some of it.

* One when it comes to the persons race and just cause they are that race they can get said stuff or do said stuff, No throw that shit away and make it where Race do not matter what you can and can not get, where every race can get that stuff.

*two when it comes to a Job, hire anybody and race not matter, just cause the place likes this race over that race.
The US has laws for that but there is so many places that do not even give a shit about them laws and will still hire and be more open to a set race of people then some others.

*Three when it comes to places like a military school or some thing?
Again throw races out the window and not put set races to set rooms where they are just around there own race group.. Yes it is real and it happens, it happen to me in military school and I got thrown into the Asian group, All the people who are Asian into there own room, same as whites, blacks, Hispanics and so on.

*Four when it comes to Race of LGBTQ people, make it where it do not matter if say two people of not the same race date one the other or like one the other.
Even when it comes to transgender stuff why does race even matter?
Like if you want to look it up White trans people get far less racial discrimination then some one who is not white.

*Five Fully do away Church that has racist people working there that do racial discrimination!
I'm mostly talking about them Christian Church's who favor only white people, hate you if you are white and are very anti-LGBTQ.

Everybody is Human and when the US starts to fully learn that race do not matter well things can get better, first step is to fully do away with all them old ass racist men in the government, that be a big starting step alone.

You merely don't solve race relations in the US. If we are in a "post-racial" state where a black president has presided for the last 8 years and racial tensions are near identical to prior, you can count the problem out as one that's mendable. Everything in the thread is going to be purely conjecture, so I honestly believe that our best shot is to become a socialist nation that spends more on police training (and pays them higher), pays for better public education for inner-city kids, have a single payer system run by the government (universal health care) and charge higher taxes for higher income brackets (way beyond current proportions). Again, everybody is going to have something fairly worthless to say on this topic.

The education system needs to be improved and standardised like most other western countries do. When I say better education I do not just mea higher grades I mean a totally reworked system that teaches real history not that fake shit they push in a lot of schools. I would like it to be taught about the white people that helped promote black rights not just the black people involved. I would like it to be taught how shitty the Irish immigrants were treated. I also would like it to be taught how most slaves in the US were slaves by Muslim slave owners before coming to the US. I would like it to be taught the US wasn't always right in it's historical actions. I would like to remove or loosen affirmative action because it causes jealousy and mistrust. I would give the means of production to workers but not fully ban private business. That would be done through higher taxes on businesses that arent co-ops and requiring them to have half of their board of directors be voted in by the workers. I would replace the central bank with a central credit union. Improving poverty levels decreases crime. Because of class immobility a disproportionate amount of minorities are poor and poor people commit more crimes so this makes it appear as the minorities commit more crimes so both together causes resentment both ways which is why I want to fix that. I would also secure borders by making the immigration process easier to do legally. The police also need to not be so militarized and need to be better trained in non lethal force. Private for profit prisons need to be banned. Parents need to stop trying to make their kids identify only with adults who are their own sex and race for rolemodels so they can learn to see the sameness and similarities in different people.

>it's another lefty Yuro believing that "Murka is waycis" is alive because of what is reported on the news

Do you even live here? Race relations don't need to be mended and if there is racism, the lefty elites are the ones behind most of the tensions and force it on populations and succeed at it via the promotion of polarized mass media, especially putting the "PoC" against white people with false narratives of "the patriarchy" and MUH ALT RIGHT NAZI BIGGITS and FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE. It's amazing that as a non-white I have to point out how obvious anti-white racism has lead to so many false narratives of America being "racist."

Other than that, no one gives two shits about race. You're taking sensationalist media and paranoid indoctrinated Internet dwellers too seriously.

I see poverty as a big culprit. When people are forced to live in shitty conditions and struggle with access to education, they find misleading scapegoats to blame, often manifesting in the form of racism. When people are living relatively satisfactory lives and don't feel like they're struggling from day to day, they won't feel compelled to blame other people for their problems. It would be pretty hard for blacks to keep accusing the white man of keeping them down when they've got it going good; whites wouldn't feel the need to cry the Mexicans are taking our jerbs if they already had decent paying jobs.

Solve poverty, solve racism. The rising tide lifts all boats.

You can blame liberal politicians for all of this. Take a look at cities like Detroit and the mayors that served them. Why do you think welfare dependency is high? No investment in jobs or finding ways to fight inner city crime, only give them money and watch them all spend it away wastefully in no time and a decreased police force to boot because of no citywide efforts to tackle it in any way.

First things first, people need to stop loving their race. People need to realize their identity as a black person isn't cool or unique or worth worshipping.

Then we'll need some statistical facts - not news reports - about police violence, job acceptances and all that. Without the data, we don't know where racism actually exists or not.

Definitely agree with you on this. The concept of race in general is pretty archaic and I reckon it needs to be done away with as no good has come of it.

The ironic thing is that if you try to force people to get over the differences, it has an opposite effect. Constantly bringing up the problem only reinforces that there is in fact a problem.

Yes, we should try to take measures against discrimination. But having it in the spotlight all the time just makes our youth more aware that they should feel different. In the long run, skin color won't be much different than hair color, which also was a huge cause of distinction in the not too distant past.

What I often see in modern discourse is the view that race is important. I mean, when I first heard of the concept of race and antiracism, I remember the dominant sentiment was "So who the fuck cares about your skin color?". Nowadays, people emphasize it, saying that if you don't see someone as black you're a racist.

I see most hate coming from how differently white people are treated by the police. then this is furthered by debates that reverse racism can't exist.

I thought it was just a stereotype that Americans hate immigrants! I actually thought immigration in America is better than anywhere else.
