but there is no opposition, or other side, to "fight" against black activism. there is no need for one. seems when black people get violent, they tear down their own cities, not the white burbs. when BLM protests, they only protest at dem events, cause in reality they do not want to confront non-liberal white people. This movement has only protested in its comfort zones of colleges, urban areas, & democrat events.
i just feel that trump, with his jingoistic support of the cops, will most definitely be the worst president for race relations. Things are kumbaya today with obama compared to what will happen when left wing radicals react to a trump election. IMO.

These things take a long time to build up, and they take much less time to actually happen. Similar to an earthquake.
Black activism was born out of the need to go somewhere with the massive injustice that was faced by everyone up until at least the 70s. The last 40 years have seen the symptoms largely removed, but not the distrust and anger. And it is way more than blacks and whites. If it was just black Americans, there might be a path towards reconciliation. But as with the dems and the repubs, if someone can use a motivated block of people to enrich themselves, they will. And when the whole thing falls apart, they'll jet out of the chaos. This is only my opinion, I hope you're right but I doubt it.
