A majority of Americans now say that race relations in the United States are bad, according to the latest NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll, which showed the most pessimistic assessment of racial issues in almost two decades.
In the wake of protests over the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police, just four in ten Americans told pollsters that they believe race relations in the United States are "good," while 57 percent disagreed. And nearly a quarter - 23 percent - classified the current state of the country's racial issues as "very bad."
The data showed a dramatic slide from just 18 months ago, when a July 2013 poll indicated that a majority - 52 percent - offered an optimistic view of race relations. And throughout President Barack Obama's first term in the White House, more than seven in ten Americans said race relations were good, with a record 77 percent giving a positive assessment shortly after Obama's election as the first black president.

Obamas plan 1000%
They would be correct.
It was actually better before the current POSOTUS was elected.
Since then, his race has taken on an entitlist attitude - they act uncivilly, break laws with impunity, and get violent when you call them out.
Pants up, don't loot...and turn your crap noise down! Then you might get a job!
Since then, his race has taken on an entitlist attitude.. so right.. his mother would be ashamed of the race
