Calm down. This is true but it's always been the case. Human's are a failed species dude, it's that simple. Always were if you look objectively.

It's been building up for a while.

Putting a black man in the White House is what finally broke the dam.

You might consider not looking in the mirror and hanging with a nicer group of people.

With wealth comes these things and it's made America a very ugly place. A country of losers who put themselves before anything else. Proof...the only things at which this country excell's is war and hate.

We don't educate, we don't heal. We don't feed or comfort. We imprison. We destroy. We take and take and take until there is no more to take and then we look for new victims.

This is why our country will never be "great" again.
It is a fact. Speaking of facts,
37th in infant mortality and 34th in life expectancy. There are 3rd world countries with better ratings. This is how great we are these days:

And it's getting both worse and more dependent on income. It has always been true that richer people live longer but the disparity in life expectancy between the upper 50% and lower 50% in the US has risen from a little over 1% in the 1970s to just under 6% in 2001 and to 14% currently.

You know, I always figured it would be like this when that day finally came. Actually, I figured some asshole would shoot him. Glad to see that hasn't happened.............not that there haven't been attempts or efforts to egg any would-be assassins on. Somehow, I also always figured the first black president would be a Democrat. The GOP does have a sizable portion of their base to consider after all.
