All on Facebook I have been seeing posts about racism from both whites and blacks. My view point has always been simple: Treat others how you would like to be treated. Color of someone's skin doesn't make them any less human than anyone else. My questions are: Is 2015 the year of racism or has this problem been growing to this point? Why now? Is the media pushing towards a race war or trying to help? I would love to hear anyone's opinion on the matter!

Jumpjet, melta, jumpjet. Repeat for ten minutes or until victory is assured.
OP is right, there was never racism before 2015.

I'll agree it has been a pretty racist year so far, OP, but then again so was 2014 and 2013 before that. 2012 too maybe? Makes you think.

See, the problem is that this is actually super dumb and wrong. Different people have different lives and circumstances, and something that you might not personally find insulting might be hurtful to someone else.

"Treat others how they've expressed they want to be treated" is probably much better and more useful.

Statistically, black men kill more black men than any other race. This is where we must address the problem.

It's the popular thing on social media right now to cry about how something is/isn't racist. Give it time, it'll blow over and people will go back to their cats and their 420s and pictures of food.
