Racism was always there. Look at the way people treated blacks way back that was nothing to do with the left. The left may push the divide between them but they did not start it. The blacks started it by selling slaves world wide. Most people think it was only the US slaves were traded too but it was world wide and they were sold by black Africans. Racism has always been here look at Canada and the residential schools for Native Americans. Trying to beat the Indian out of them.
