I believe that racial tensions have been exacerbated during the Obama Administration, that the President's proclivity to jump into every debate on the side of blacks, even when they are clearly in the wrong, has empowered those who profit from racial division. This scholarly article provides insight into the issue and clearly points to the need for calmer, more rational heads at the reins of government. Sadly, calmer and rational are not adjectives that I would associate with either presumptive candidate. Thus, I fear that racial tensions may well heat up rather than calm down as President Obama is replaced. What say you?

There is a lot of money and influence to be gained by sustaining problems. I don't see either side doing anything substantial to change that paradigm.

MAJ L. Nicholas Smith It's why people don't cure diseases anymore. There are treatments that you pay for the rest of your life that net more than a one time cure. Same analogy.

I agree. HRC uses racial tensions to divide and get there votes and Trump speaks his mind even when no PC.

CPT Durish,
I did, and found it interesting. I believe there need to be more initiatives like Compstat, look at the positive impact it had. I am very close to the stats in Columbus, OH. Growing up there, our next door neighbor was a patrolman on the city force. Dad used to ride with him occasionally and came home with wild stories. (This was in the late 50's, early 60's. Earl Burden went on to become Chief of Police in Columbus.)
The Rev. Al Sharpton is no H. Rap Brown or Stokely Carmichael but he can still rile up the black population. I was shocked by the report that stated the 73% increase in Nashville in fatalities. We lived just South of Nashville 1999 - 2004 and the media never reported that data to the best of my recollections, no surprise.
Thanks for that link, you always have "good stuff".
