    New racial incidents are becoming almost a daily occurrence now. Will this lead to more demonstrations? Who will have to apologize?

    (Bolding is quotes from the OP's article)

    “Can’t go nowhere without the cops following me. You know how it is,” Martin says in the footage. Except the police weren't following him, they were responding "after a neighbor reported a “burglary in progress.”"

    Sorry, but it sounds like blaming the police, or any attempts at moral outrage that he was profiled by the police, are off base here. The police responded to a reported burglary, period. Maybe this man has a paranoid or even racist neighbor, but I don't see that the police did anything wrong.

    As for him saying he "can't go nowhere....", is this how Obama staffers really talk? Is it public schooling to blame? Sheesh. That's basic grammar....

    The OP says "New racial incidents are becoming almost a daily occurrence now." Well, America is a race-conscious society so this is normal here. Nothing new about it.

    What's new is the snowflake mentality of the left, they are professionally and eternally offended now. In the past they usually had a somewhat valid reason to whine, now they whine about everything, no matter if its real or imagined...

    At least he was not gun down at his door and that seems the best that a black person can hope for as we all follow Trump lead back to the 1950s when the nation was great for white male Christians if for no one else.

    It grew in prevalence and animosity over 8 years of obama's reign. Or did you not bother to take notice then?
    You provide no sensible reasoning only a leftist agenda. An agenda full of holes and one we are long tired of.

    Yes the right wing was damn unhappy that a black man was living in the white house and Trump being elected was the first stage of the racists hitting back.

    Lord and the fools such as myself was thinking for eight years that our racial past was at last behind us.

    I cannot tolerate lying and deceiving and agenda driven B.S. The left has wallowed in this chicanery and it is destroying our nation and civility. The left is a mountain of hypocrisy, a movement that covers up all its crimes, scandals and lies because the mainstream media and the press are willing allies to do their bidding. Now you come out with some totally inane comment that the reason the right was disappointed with obama was because he was black. You have proven again it is hard to have a discourse with those who manipulate the truth to advance a corrupt agenda. You all deal in labels as your main defense, which is the methods of an angry child who feels he has been shamed.

    Trump wasn't a response to "a Black man living in the White house".

    Trump was the response to a radical progressive cancer that painted the civil and contributing middle class America as something to be despised.

    Also you need to be aware of something, every time someone claims "its 'cause I'm Black" its they who are the ones ones keeping racism alive.

    Overweight woman's fat spills out of her airline seat and disturbs another passenger - "its 'cause I'm Black".
    Guy doesn't get a code to a bathroom because worker doesn't remember him being a customer - "its 'cause I'm Black".
    Loiters get asked to buy something or leave the store - "its 'cause I'm Black".
    Police ask a guy simple questions because somebody didn't recognize a new person in the building - "its 'cause I'm Black".

    Being a Black person doesn't give one a special immunity.

    Trying to create that immunity by whining about fictitious persecution is basically telling the world "I'm Black so I'm above scrutiny".

    That's called supremacy.

    Congrats on wearing out actual racial incidents by overusing the word 'racist'. Boy who cried wolf.

    So somebody calls the cops and they show up and the cops are wrong for doing so. What are they supposed to do? Maybe I am going off the deep end here but I would love for the cops to follow up on this and find out who made the call. Moving stuff in looks alot different than moving stuff out. It would not take to long to figure that out. So who actually called and why is what I would like to know.

    I hate to say it but moving to New York was probably a bad idea.

    I am surprised that Breitbart hasn't posted a story about how this guy was a "Deep State Obamite" planning a coup.

    So she was new to the building, they didn't recognise her and so called the police?

    He's not American born, his wife was a gorilla, his children were monkeys, the rightwing didn't see a biracial man when you all made those comments.................you saw a black man.

    If you had to describe Obama to a cop, you'd describe him as black, so ****.

    Nor a pass from harassment which you clearly support.

    It was indeed nice to think that racism was fading into our past too bad that was a very wrong picture as too many people seems to depend on keeping a racial view of the world and all it took to bring it back was a low grade con man and a few Russian hackers.

    Obama set race relations back 50 years with his race baiting and divisiveness.

    I voted for him in 2008. It was a happy moment for me to see the first black president elected. The last threads of racism were gone, I thought. Who knew he would turn out to be the worse thing to happen for race relations in my lifetime.

    Blaming Trump is partisan ignorance, particularly if you still supported Obama and his divisiveness after 8 years.

    Make **** up, attribute it to people who think different from you and then feel justified in your bigotry.. called you out eh?

    I saw a bi-racial man who could have helped race relations and he did all he could to make them much worse.

    That's why everyone else voted for him too, so they could smile and say to themselves and everyone else, "See, I'm not racist!".

    The problem with voting for him because he was black is that also, is racist.
