Since Trump took office, have race relations improved or gotten worse?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Clearly gotten worse easily.

[Mr. Smith]

worse.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Worse but it didnt start to get worse then, it started to get worse in 2014

[Esteemed Jimmy]

Worse

[Türkisblau]

It's gotten worse because of both him and his opponents. The rise and enduring virility of identity politics has destroyed any cohesiveness this country once had.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I voted "same" in the sense that the grievances fueling racial resentment, be white against black, black against Latino, Latino against white, etc, are still going to exist after Trump as they had existed before him.

Expressions of these resentments are on the rise, but that's just a reflection of the polarized climate.

Worse, and I tend to blame one side (the right) more than the other.  It’s true, though, that this trend began before Trump took office.  Obama tried to unite the country, his opponents just couldn’t stand him or what he represented.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is why reparations are making a comeback and DC statehood, due to the amount of income disparity among whites 60% and minorities 40%

[Hydera]

Imagine the giggling from those two after they voted "improved".

[All Along The Watchtower]

Worse politically (although as others noted this trend predates Trump), but that hasn't stopped the overall improvement of "race relations" (don't really like this term but whatever) in the US over the past several decades.

Black-white relations have gotten worse since the shooting of Michael Brown in 2014 and I'm not sure that Trump has deeply affected that, but Trump has certainly aggravated race relations between white people and Hispanic people.

Well, police brutality, environmental racism, islamophobia, and institutional/social bigotry, etc is still a thing, and was alive and well during the Obama, Bush, Clinton years too, except under Trump and in recent years these things have been getting more airtime and social visibility. I think for people, mostly centrists and liberals, who just want to plug their ears and pretend racism went away and America is a post-racial society, race relations got worse. Black people complaining about very subtle discrimination they experience is waved off as SJW madness by these types, or that certain people of color are simply "complaining" or "whining". I also feel like the more ignorant people are and the more they are unwilling to examine their own biases and attitudes, race relations have also gotten worse the more they come in contact with non-white people talking about their experiences in non-sugar coated ways.

On the other hand, I feel like for more open-minded people who are willing to examine their own biases and how race relations work in interpersonal ways, "race relations" may have gotten better. So yeah, it's kind of a silly concept to begin with that includes so many different social, political, institutional, and ethnic dynamics that it's nearly impossible to define what "race relations" are.

Worse. I would say the worsening of race relations started in 2008, got even worse around 2014, and then Trump got in  and dumped a can of gas on the fire.

Why the right alone?

Do you think this helps bring a white man to be an "ally"?

Don't be surprised when the apolitical white guy who could have been an "ally" becomes hellbent on ignoring and laughing the social justice issue off.

The left can't play like they are not absolved of this.

I didn't say "right alone".  Do you understand the meaning "more than the other"?
