Race relations in the US between black and white adults are at the lowest point in more than two decades, poll finds

h/t Instapundit
[DaylyMail] - For the second consecutive year, race relations between black and white in the US are at their lowest point in more than two decades, and there's a 20-point gap in how white and black Americans view the future.

A Gallup poll published on Wednesday found 42 percent of Americans say relations between the two racial groups are 'very' or 'somewhat' good as opposed to 57 percent say they are 'somewhat' or 'very' bad.

The percentage of black people with a positive rating of race relations has slumped to 33 percent, while for white people it is 43 percent.
So, they do remember that Jim Crow was preceded by Reconstruction (https://www.britannica.com/event/Reconstruction-United-States-history).
Last year, the same poll found black-white relations for 44percent positive in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder and the subsequent nationwide protests and calls for racial justice.

And only 40 percent of black adults are optimistic there will be racial harmony, as opposed to 60percent of white adults, according to the poll by Gallup, which is a Washington DC-based analytics and advisory company.

#1 Actually, they should be improving in the sense that if you don't absolutely have to take the chance on such an interaction you just don't.

Must be a Yankee and Democrat Run Metro thing???

Once I get up of the Metro Areas into the subs and rural areas. I see the usual courtesy, manners and open cutting the fool and joking interaction.

Aside for the 10000 watt Bass & Rap at stoplights Polite communications, holding doors, offering help as needed.

Hell I have even witnessed a number of older Black Americans fed up and telling these inter-city BLM shirt wearing punks to F off, quit being racist and join the whole human race.

#3 Meanwhile, in the real world, I exercise at a gym with black and white people, go grocery shopping at stores with black and white people, eat at restaurants with black and white people, mail packages at a post office with black and white people, borrow books at the library with black and white people, and...well, you get the idea.

#4 I thought things were going OK until Obama came along. That's when I noticed race relations going sour.

#5 It appears the root cause of the sudden drop in race relations in 2014 was the 'suicide by cop' by Michael Brown which was rapidly transformed into allegedly commonplace execution of young black men by police by the media and politicians, and the elevation of BLM (Burn Loot Murder?) into THE dominant liberal 'civil rights' organization (rather than the Marxist front group it really is.)

#6 I thought race relations were going okay until the President intervened in a case on a college campus and insinuated the cop involved was a racist before he knew any details.
