It looks like America has finally reached a point where "wealth v health" is gonna split the nation as some US states are looking to "start business" rather prematurely IMO and the opinion of a huge chunk of the American population who are uttering caution and trying to dissuade these people from causing even more probs for their own state populations and losing even more lives in the process!! Looks like the quest for wealth is sadly overpowering for many of them - a poss "defining moment" in American politics. Crazy!!

Is this all a negative "offshoot" of the extreme gun culture and other extreme views a la Trump in America - has it pervaded American society in certain US states?? Ridiculous!!

America seems to be in a really bad place at the moment, The racial division is too far deep now in the US, and those currently in White House will only fan the flames rather than try to de-escalate and provide healing.
Coupled with the frustration from the lock down and the terrible mortality figures from COVID in poor black areas i fear a tipping point has been reached.

Yep! Without a "shadow of a doubt"!! The institutional racism in the US is actually a sore that has been festering for years and the worst link up to this explosive problem is an American President and most of his administration being racists too - a shocker!! What a country, what a shocking culture that has never redressed in the way it should've been esp when we are well into the 21st century.

Racism isn’t going anywhere in the USA, its here and its here to stay until some real change takes place. Problem is, this really isn’t about the police or even the politicians, its about the average white man who is hardly affected by the racial problems, he doesn’t live near them, he doesn’t work with them and when it all kicks off he sits in his living room and tuts as he watches the violence erupt on his 65” TV. The sad thing is prior to Trump this country had a black President for 8 years and yet the racism seemed to get worse during his two terms. Maybe that was a reaction from the right to him being elected but it does seems as though his 8 year terms wasn’t able to stop this. Its going to take a few more generations for it to change, there are too many people in the 60s+ that actually lived in the US before the civil rights movement in the 60s, they grew up with black suppression being the norm and they pass that along to other generations, this current young generation have to take a lead in attempting to stop this during their lifetime!!

Trump hiding in his bunker while America burns.....
The police in America seem to act with impunity whether they are being filmed or not. A lot of stuff also coming out about white power groups targeting US police recruits. The FBI were investigating but of course the Donald decided to push that back.
