And yes. Like your point about some portion of the Black Lives Matter movement being partially rooted in real injustice by white police against young black 'toughs' that do not get the presumption of innocence from them. Trust me, I've got my issues with that fraction of police who enjoy bullying, even hurting, people.
Several SSI denizens have acknowledged the grievances that are real -- but that get hijacked and twisted into something they weren't meant to be.

On the 50 years ago point: honestly, my question is how that polling question applies to precisely 8 years ago. In 2008, we all took it as a given that blacks would regard life as far better for them in 2016 than in 2008.

But yeah. You could be right that the deterioration in race relations is due to white politicians in D.C. Honestly don't know.
