Research says there are ways to reduce racial bias. Calling people racist isn’t one of them.

The sub title of the story really shows where the issue is...It reads "The challenge for anti-racists looking for solutions in Trump’s America". This really tells you all you need to know. Nothing changed the day Trump won the election or the day he was sworn in.
That is nothing except the cacophony of simple mindedness from the left that there is something now wrong in America and Trump's election is the only evidence you need. There must something that needs to be "fixed" with those other people that are not like me. They are defective wrong, racist etc.
The writer should encourage his brethren to follow their own path of empathy and try to put themselves in the shoes of people that have been toting the mail for decades. Working hard, paying taxes, raising their families etc. They might learn a few things too.

SGT (Join to see) - Did I suggest somewhere in my post that everyone voted for Trump? I don't think I said anything even close to that.

Cpl Jeff N. - I'll remember that the next time I say "the racial and prejudicial rhetoric coming from the right" and folks jump on me accusing me of calling all Conservatives racists. Cause in no way that ever happens. I'm accusing you of missing the point of article. You can't start and sustain an open conversation if you launch into insults whether it's calling the person simple minded or the things they are saying is simple minded. It's a simple premise.

Racists are immune to being called racist. It's a waste of time telling them what they already know and believe in. Throwing the "racist" label indiscriminately only hurts the cause because it offends those who care, who are not racist. Thus, your blanket condemnation of "Trump supporters" is ill-advised.

Greg gets no apologies. Greg hasn't learned how to be nice. Greg is never satisfied with anything. Go away, Greg. Go, Greg, go.

SSG Jessica Bautista - Was that response to Greg Wright supposed to be a joke. I certainly hope so. Otherwise, its sounded very childish.

Wow!!! Are you saying that you will no longer assume that all President Trump supporters are racist?
I have to agree that the sooner that we stop the name calling the sooner we will be able to live in relative harmony.
