    I realize it's early yet but since Trump was elected it seems like the police ambush shootings and race riots have just sort of dried up. It's looking like obama who was elected in large part because people thought his election would bring the races together was actually the great divider. His constant anti cop rhetoric with police shootings seemed to have just fanned the fires and the last year of his presidency was one race riot after another and a war on cops with an alarming surge in cop ambush murderers. Since Trump was elected we've had student temper tantrums and white people in pink hats marching but the militant blacks seem to have called it a day. It's almost like obama inspired them to violence and Trump's very presence has quelled the tempest. This bodes well for America.

    That is hysterical.

    Trump cleared up a fictional problem, the "racial division" that seemed to exist solely in the minds of right wing, shocking Caucasian pundits.

    Other fictional constructs noted. Race riots. Obama's anti cop rhetoric.

    All because a man with a spray on tan who seems obsessed with Muslims and his own self image became president.

    Middle, centrist America that voted in Obama will get the change they wanted this time from Trump.

    Are you kidding, Obama has been crusading against whites his whole career. Knowing Obama can do no wrong, your party has the same sentiments.

    You're missing the point here. During the last period of Obama's presidency we had one race riot after another and a war on cops with escalating police ambush murderers. It's almost like without Obama at the helm these black militants are rudderless. Trump's election seems to have quashed this tempest and we may be on a much better path now with race relations

    88% of Blacks and 65% of Hispanic voters cast their ballots for Hillary. Likewise, a majority of White voters cast their ballots for Trump. The racial divisions at the voting booth are obvious. It's only natural to expect that Trump will placate his base, White people, to the detriment of racial minorities. Banning Muslims and deporting Mexicans are obviously issues that Whites are in favor of due to racial bias. And when nearly 9 out of every 10 Black voters is voting against Trump that definitely proves that Black people don't trust Trump and imply that he is racist. The raw data is pointing to the fact that there is a strong racial friction in American politics and society which Trump will no doubt aggravate.

    You are ignoring the fact that race riots very suddenly ended and as far as I know the cop ambushes ended too. Im not sure if Trump is the cause of this or if it's just the fact that Obama's gone but there it is. I do think though that if Hillary was elected she'd have continued the racial strife as part of her and the DNC divide and conquer strategy and we'd still be having race riots and cop murders.

    If I may borrow a word from your signature, your remarks reflect a very juvenile kind thinking. Riots over police shootings are hardly orchestrated from the White House. Trump has barely been in office for a month. Furthermore, you seem to imply that outbreaks of rioting and police shooting of unarmed black youths is the standard by which to judge the level of racism in society, which is self-evidently false.

    Strawman. I never claimed they are races.

    Well actually if you want scientific racial categorization, here it goes. Most Muslims are from the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia, which both fall under two racial categories, Caucasoid and Mongoloid. Up to India, there is a mixture of Caucasoid subtypes Hamitic and Aryan (the former being the most Muslims), and into Southeast(*)Asia, a mixture of these two races along with people from Africa (Negroid racial stock).

    As for Hispanics, another racial mixture. Mixture of more Aryan Caucasoids with Negroids and Hamites (based on the conquering of Spain and the reconquering of Spain). Now, after Spanish colonization of South and Latin America, most Hispanics in the US have a bit of Amerindian blood in them too (also part of the Mongoloid racial stock).

    Long story short, Muslims and Hispanics do generally have a distinct racial category if you're going off of strict bone structure and facial features.

    LMAO! Then point out how Trump is projecting racist behavior for preventing illegals to enter this country.

    Pretty much all the terms you used "Hamitic" "Negroid" "Mongoloid" "Aryan" are dated. Sounds like anthropology from the 19th century.

    Mexican hispanics are a mix of Caucasian and native Indian blood, not negroid. Unless the Spanish took vast hoards of slaves to central and South America, that didn't happen. Lots of slaves in the West Indies but few in the southern hemisphere of the Americas. Hell, if you watch the latin TV networks most are lilly white. As for muslims, you don't have any clear cut basis other than African muslims. And those people aren't the ones invading our nation.

    What an astounding assertion. You must think that because, when Trump holds one of his ego-bolstering campaign rallies, he manages to find a few black people dumb enough to sit behind him with signs saying "African-Americans for Trump" or some such nonsense.

    Dated terminology but nevertheless accurate (people don't exactly study races nowadays because of the reception they get for it). And it's dated to about(*)60 years ago, made by this dude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carleton_S._Coon

    Nah I'm saying like the fraction of a percentage of blood that is indeed from Africa due to(*)the conquering of Spain centuries ago (yea,(*)most aren't that way visibly now)

    As for Muslims, the ones that we get are the Middle Eastern ones and so they are Hamites.

    Trump has ended racism. He is also responsible for no more earthquakes in California, no more tornadoes in the south and for the comeback win by the patriots

    I said in the OP "it's early yet" but you have to admit it's interesting how the riots and ambush murderers of police officers suddenly stopped. The BLM bunch is suddenly off the radar too. It could have less to do with Trump himself though than with the fact that the election is over and the Soros funding for riots has dried up along with the DNC, Obama and Hillary constantly stirring the pot in order to get out the black vote. Either way Trump's election seems to have put a halt to what looked like a potential race war in the making .

    Speaking of Hispanics, those riots and marches with the Mexican flag being carried on American streets are also nowhere to be seen.

    It's not just the terminology that's dated but the concepts behind the terms as well. Aryan and Hamitic referred to populations based on language group. In the case of Hamitic: However, since the three Hamitic branches have not been shown to form an exclusive (monophyletic) phylogenetic unit of their own, separate from other Afroasiatic languages, linguists no longer use the term in this sense. Each of these branches is instead now regarded as an independent subgroup of the larger Afroasiatic family (Everett Welmers, William (1974). African Language Structures. University of California Press. p. 16. ISBN 0520022106. Retrieved 1 December 2016.)

    Likewise, the term "Mongoloid" to describe a craniofacial type is not accurate given the much more complicated reality and that term is very much dated.
