Really? I see all colors and types of people daily. They get along and work together well. Perhaps, the issue of keeping racism alive serves some better, than saying things are getting a lot better? Ask yourself, who benefits most keeping racism alive

If the US is so horrible, why are so many POC’s trying to get in?

Correction, there are racists in America and racist individuals in the government right now. Our country is what we make it and if we remove the racists from power we can get back on track to fulfilling Dr. Martin Luthier King’s dream.

As white people are being slandered

The truth is this: the left plays identity politics ALL 👏 THE 👏 TIME.

Who is stopping to get education and getting decent paying jobs ...

Some are racist.

America love it or leave it

Fake News, Lying Democrap Racists

The truth is...it's not a one way street. If you think those crying Racism are removed from problem, well, that's a problem. Be careful you aren't what you claim to fight against!

Americans elected Obama. Stupidity never ends.

No it's not

Blacks are the most racist people in USA. It’s been a proven fact.

The Earth is a racist world, anyway.

Is America so racist, why are all these people trying to come into this HORRIBLE, RACIST, NOT ACCEPTING COUNTRY! You can’t survive, or get ahead if you’re not welcomed. The Media is so full of BS

Maybe we just don't like assholes. The color of your skin is irrelevant. There are plenty of white people I don't like but it's only racist if they a different skin color. We use the racism card too much. It's like the boy who cried wolf.

America is not a racist country. Are there many racists and bigots among the population? For sure. But we elected a black president for crying out loud. Twice. And we might elect a black woman next year. Gimme a break.

Cool....now do crazy Bette Midler ask her she’s way more of a racist than Trump could ever be

If America is so bad as you say none of you would be standing there stirring the pot

The truth is racism was healing in America until a minimum amount of far left radicals decided to label Americans who love America and all of the human race as racist. It’s a total sham to stir people up , reopen and pour salt on a wound. racismwasasleep

Because of these ladies🤪

Those people saying that are just bitter people. There are a lot more people in America that don't care what color your skin is than there are racists.

Come back to Africa

Agreed....wish the Left would stop being racist all the time.

and a dumb country... (people) (from someone who's been all around the world)

As ny governer, cumonsaid: AMerica NEVER HAS BEEN GREAT, AMERICA IS A chaos multipot, unlawless, wild wild west

The 'squad' is using the race card to deflect criticism of their offensive positions and remarks. That they happen to be 'women of color' is no defense for their ignorance or prejudice, and using their race/color to shield themselves from backlash is blatantly racist itself!

If someone allied with The Squad says it, it is beyond contention and cannot be debated. Freedom demands no less.

All the old ass white conservatives continue to be scared that they may not be ableto continue to influence every aspect of everyone’s lives!!!

Why am I getting USA Today news in my feed. Let me block it and see.

The prez was black you clown.

Racism has existed for centuries...to resolve the problem will take time, patience’s and respect for one another.

Bullshit. Go to almost any other country in the world and let me know how inclusive they are compared to America. Just another first world problem.

Well, if it is, then you can forget about it ever changing..?!! Why, because you think it the way you do..?!! And if not for that.. then because your mouth has made it that way..?!! 😶

yes we want our white country back and there is nothing wrong with that we are tired of Black Crime 13 do 53

RashidaTlaib AOC AyannaPressley

Hipocrits

List one single tweet of Trump’s that s racist.

When did decide to be a kneejerk leftist newspaper? Sad. Hope I can still trust the sports coverage.

Please keep at it ladies, no doubt Americans will agree with u at the next election...vote Dems u racists!

The problem is that conservatives are suffering from White Extermination Anxiety. .. they are terrified they will become the minority.....

Nonsense, USA should get new editors

Self care? Not while voting in Socialism!

Inherited human traits thru-out civilization,,,nothing new

No it became a racist country because of Cortez, Omar,Tlaib, and Pressley, they want this country to become a Socialist Country which is so bad for America.

There is a ugly history of racism and slavery in America, and unfortunately Trump brought back the ugly side of America that we were trying to change for many years.

There are two classes of Dems: 1. The ones that don't like where America is right now 2. The ones that hate America at its roots and thinks it's a fundamentally racist and terrible place The people in 2 are the ones conservatives ask to leave the country if they feel that way.

Yup and it got worse when Obama got elected.

Why on earth only Michael Jackson was allowed to turn white from a black skin

The only people preoccupied with using the Racist term improperly are the House Dems. Most citizens of the USA are not Racist. That includes President Trump!

Problem is they are racist and that is the problem

I refuse to believe this. Is there racism in America. Of course. There is racism all over the world. It's terrible in any place, in any context. America as whole racist country. Absolutely not.

Go ahead and wallow in everyone is a racist, millennials don’t even know what that is, except what the media paints for them.

For true racism to be effective one must have the power and privilege to affect the other race.

mahmudsani NO OFFENSE- YOU NEED TO TRAVEL ! Cause you hav no idea about racism.

🖕

There are so many races in America that is not about racism anymore, it’s about people not getting along.

🐃💩The ONLY racists are these politicians of 'color'. RepAOC is WHITE.

Start acknowledging it and you might be about to do something about it. Denying it and arguing the existence is unproductive.

Some are but a whole lot more are not.

The truth is you can’t control what people think

The reality is, purebreds are racists. Regardless of their race, it is they who perpetuate the racism debate.

Everything was fine till obama came on the scene. He made minorities victims again and unfortunately the uneducated believe it.

Does this mean all other countries arent racist? Just America?

Not true. Democrats are Racists & not America!

Truth

How is a country racist. People are racist. People of different races make up a high part of the country....are you saying they are racists too?

Who’s the RACISTS

And racism will never stop...... So when you see them just got all the way....... And don't leave them with a prayer or God-bless you......... Because it doesn't work.

Some People of color have a persecution complex.

Mueller: Trump not exonerated, Russia is still trying to undermine U.S. electionsRobert Mueller, the taciturn lawman at the center of a polarizing American drama, bluntly dismissed President Donald Trump’s claims of “total exoneration” Wednesday in the federal probe of Russia’s 2016 election interference. In a long day of congressional testimony, Mueller warned that Moscow’s actions represented — and still represent — a great threat to American democracy. Let me translate: Trump not proven guilty due to no evidence You dems are in denial.
