BLM and ANTIFA have exacerbated this racial division along with the pushback from White Supremacists but the black movement against whites has become far more powerful than any push back, especially with the killing of George Floyd.
Blacks now want to tear down Confederate Monuments, Rewrite the US Constitution, Receive Slavery Reparations, Teach Critical Race Theory, and destroy whatever White Privilege really means... just because it is white I suppose.
What bothers me and no doubt others is the fact that Blacks only represent 13% of the overall population with the whites representing 60% of that same population... and if, only half the whites FIGHT BACK, there will still be TWICE AS MANY WHITES as blacks... and, the resulting confrontation could be seriously troublesome.
The last thing that any political administration in power wants is a HIDDEN AGENDA mental battle between whites and blacks... in other words, each side giving the other side the COLD SHOULDER and refusing to be cooperative and friendly, especially in communities where the opposite was previously taken place. This silent treatment will foster ill will and resentment on both sides that will eventually manifest itself in more obvious confrontations like refusing to eat at the same restaurant, or attend the same movie or share drinks at a bar... or allow children to play on the same sports team.
ALREADY, blacks and white attend separate Churches and for the most part live in separate communities, but we shop at the same stores and at the same malls and that could change.
Small businesses not controlled by Government Regulations could stop hiring blacks for a variety of LEGAL reasons, especially in the South and Employee at Will States.
If Americans are forced to direct their efforts to repair divisions between:
- politics
- wealth
- race
then, the rest of the world will be afforded an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the United States because of that perceived weakness.
