&gt;- The collapse of race relations. Everybody thought a black president would do wonders for the issues of race in this country, it&#x27;s done just the opposite.<p>I don&#x27;t understand what you mean. Today we&#x27;re actually starting to have conversations about race and how the establishment treats people of different races instead of not even addressing the issue. It&#x27;s being talked about not as a serious issue rather than some fringe thing that most people don&#x27;t care about.<p>I feel like progress was made during the civil rights era, then things stagnated for 40-50 years, and now we&#x27;re having conversations again. It sounds to me like a black president or perhaps other things going on have done wonders for issues of race in the country. It hasn&#x27;t solved the problems yet, but it&#x27;s sure brought them front and center and helped given them the attention they actually deserve instead of letting them get swept under the rug.
