True, and an important point. Nonetheless, people are waiting to see which way the country is going I think.

Guidance and a voice of reason is what is needed.

If not getting from locally or state where else then?

This BTW is a national problem. Not in just a few areas after all. We have a racist subcurrent running through our power structure. The races have to learn to live together in peaceful coexistence. The differences are not just going away.

Having a president who is willing to work on this, not fan the flames for the base's effect.

Edit..
To fan the flames for the base effect... To gin up his base for votes.

Anger get the blood up. Yelling fire in a movie theater.

Civil rights violations are the DOJ's perview and Trump doesn't give a shit about civil rights.

Your convictional courage appears to be lacking.

Mick Jagger observed that even Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain, and you can be sure that my moments are fairly frequent.
