Yes, it is. His wall is a different story all together. Mixed messages.

It's not that way anymore.
And I am not sure where it turned.
I grew up in a multi-cultural environment and no one ever thought anything about race.
God help us to break down these walls.

Imo, it started with barack and the constant race baiting from the time he declared.

I did not vote for him, but did have some hope that he would help with race relations, since he is half black and half white.
However, it is clear from his appointees and their actions, that they believe that past injustice against one race justifies injustices now against another race.
He had a chance to move the country along to a better place, but has instead moved us backwards.

I agree.

While I would agree that race relations have not improved, there is simply no rational way to connect any dots in a murder spree like this.
