That's a fair point. Or it could be both? We don't know. But what we do know is that racial tensions seem to be at a high point dating back to the 60s. I think everyone can agree things are infinitely better and more equal than they were in the 60s. So why is it that tensions are so high? It can't purely (or even primarily) be due to actual conditions. It has to be the rhetoric.
