9. I don't doubt Russia is helping...they are huge in White Supremacy right now.

However, Russian would have nothing to exploit racially if America would just deal with the issue it has been basically running from for the last 240+ years.

It is easy to exploit something that is right out in the open, that people do not want to admit, and which people try to separate from the society like it isn't baked into the cake.

There should not be a "both sides" on the issue of racism. There should be one side which understands that racism has weakened this country and continues to tear it apart. There should be one side which maybe has some disagreements on how exactly to tackle the issue of racism, but there should not be 2 sides here. There should be one side where the vast vast majority of us are on and actively rooting out the small minority of people who actively espouse White Supremacy and racism and making them irrelevant.
