We have taken a huge step back in terms of race relations in the US, and much of the blame lies with social activists, media figures, politicians, and hard left / right internet dwellers like the ones on Twitter and Reddit. There are certainly real racial issues, but those groups I've just named have been feverishly fanning the flames for a good ten years now. They take every real event (such as someone using the N word) and blow it so far out or proportion that you can't help coming away feeling hopeless and angry.

And the activists on either side work overtime to make everyone hate each other, because those activists themselves are full of hate. Notice how their approach to most issues involves being mad at one another, othering the opposition (and ourselves), and generally being an all around fucking prick. Something like "You People" is just a manifestation of that.

The people who really do care about racial issues have, by and large, been misled by bad faith actors whose "solutions" are akin to amputating a leg to cure a sprained ankle.
