re: I don't think the racial tension in America is as bad as the media portrays...

There is no reason to hate white folks more in 2024 than there was in 1974...in fact just the opposite is true...but its also less likely to cause you some trouble in 2024 if you say what's in your heart as a black person that it was in 1974.
This is not the question. I agree, there’s no reason to hate them more in 2024, but it is happening. Racial unity was at its strongest in the early 2000s IMO. But social media happened, Kaepernick happened, Obama happened, and it’s become just a “thing you do” as a black person to hate white people.
I’ll give you an example. I was visiting NOLA (hometown) and saw a friend I hadn’t seen in 10 years. She’s mixed, white dad black mom. Fast forward to 2022. She picks me up from my hotel, all of a sudden she’s speaking thick Ebonics. She did not speak even remotely that way in high school, in fact I didn’t even know she was black until I knew her for several years. I playfully gave her shite about it, and she goes “I’ve always spoken this way I just toned it down in front of white people” (total bullshite, she was one of the most loved people in HS, wayyyy more well liked than I was, and none of her other black friends “toned it down” around me in HS).
We sit down at a bar, and she immediately goes “there’s too many white people here, this should be a black bar.” I said, “I highly doubt the white people kicked them out, sounds like a bunch of racist black people to be honest.” She says “well that’s your privilege talking. Where do you think everything good about New Orleans comes from?” I said, “who do you think built New Orleans?” It was a tense moment. I said “I’m sorry you hate white people so much.” She said “I don’t hate white people, I’m bitter towards them.” That was pretty much my cue to leave.
They see an opportunity to get special victim treatment and they’re taking it. Part of the responsibility of the black victim is to hate white people. It’s that simple. It’s just what they do at this point. Not all of them, but most of them have this bitterness that we didn’t see 20 years ago. THAT is the difference between today and when I grew up. I’m 37.

For now. I don’t know how much longer white people are going to listen to anti-white racism, though. Black people get away with a LOT and the race card is way past its expiration date. The average 8 year old black kid in America has grandparents that weren’t even alive before affirmative action or the Johnson administration. Until they drop the whole thing it’s just going to turn on them eventually.

WOW. An Athlete exercising free speech and a black man getting elected president increased black hatred of white people. After some, what, nearly 400 years of oppression and brutalization, these 2 events are anywhere on the map of reasons black folks can conjur up hatred for white folks. No, my friend, those events only made it possible for more black people to display their hatred and ignorance......

So how does her speech habits, affected or those she possesses when not on guard, insinuate that she hates white people more today than when y'all were in high school? How does impact an increase in black people's hatred for white people? And how would you know if they toned it down or not? Were you, at some point, around them when you were black also?
I have a thick appalachian accent. I tone it down in business settings. When my 84 year old dad and I are in a boat together we sound like Maw and Paw Rugg. When I am in a conference room holding a meeting I sound like I came from the mid Atlantic of French Huguenot stock. Folks do this. It is a thing. It is not indicative of them hating anyone.
