If I'm reading the headline correctly, the important question isn't so much how blacks treat tumbles, as how they treated them in the past, which was presumably okay, at least until they changed it.
Since most of the middle class jobs evaporated under Obama, it has literally hit the blacks the hardest. And that is why Trump should get a large chunk of their votes this time out.
Only a fool would believe blacks are actually worse off than in the past--the issue is that controversial incidents involving race are far more publicized and politicized than in previous years, thanks to camera phones, social media, and a political class that absolutely depends on having a large segment of the country feel oppressed by their political opponents.
It's always important to remember that "hands up, don't shoot" and @BlackLivesMatter are fundamentally rooted in a complete lie, and it's a lie that huge amounts of black people believe as religious dogma. Specifically, that 18-year-old, college-bound, gentle giant Mike Brown was gunned down in blood by viciously white cop Darren Wilson. That every shred of evidence contradicts this narrative is completely besides the point. Cities that have been cleansed of white privilege (e.g. Detroit, Baltimore, Jackson) are crumbling, crime-ridden hell holes thanks to the collective result of the misbehavior of individual blacks.
There's something really wrong with these numbers. In a White Racist society like ours, White People are, of course, satisfied when Black People are mistreated, and dissatisfied when they're well treated. So you what ought to see in the graph is that when Black People are becoming MORE satisfied about how they're treated, the White People are becoming LESS satisfied. Come on Gallup! Get with the program.
The Way Blacks are New Zealand's semipro rugby team, where aspiring players are evaluated for a season or two to determine whether they're good enough to move up to the All Blacks. I didn't even realize that they were known in this country, but apparently Americans' satisfaction with them used to be able to offer first aid to fall victims.
I'd like to see this compared with a generic question about faith in the fairness of police officers. The advent of everyone carrying a video camera in their pocket has allowed us to see cops in their worst moments, and it's not pretty.
Going beyond interactions with the police, the relationship between whites has been on a sort of plateau for a couple of decades. During my lifetime, relations have gone from overt racism and discrimination to persistent annoyances small enough to be called microagressions. You could see real progress decade-to-decade. But it seems to me that's kind of stagnated for the last 20 years. The microagressions haven't been replaced by nanoagressions. Maybe people are getting impatient with that.
When we are bombarded by messages of certainty - even of the certainty is proven false - those that live in the churning realm of emotionalism are bound to get a bit testy.
Sure glad President Obama has led us to the post racial promised land. Aren't you?
So long as standards are lower for blacks in education, employment, public contracting and electoral politics, I will have an unfavorable view of their treatment.
The Left has used blacks as stage props for the last 60 years. Measured by results, there has been no greater government failure than Liberalism for the poor. So yes, blacks have been treated terribly.
The Eric Berne solution to the "Yes But" game, as I recall, after several solutions are rejected with "Yes, but," is to walk away with "That's a tough problem you've got there," and look for a game of Rape-o ("come hither, get away from me you beast").

So America has become much more racist since Obama has become president... or at least people believe that to be the case. Pretty sad.

Tumbles the Clown! Well, he sort of asks for it.

Most black people live under the hegemony of Democrats.
How's that workin' out for ya?

Americans' satisfaction with the way lions treated tumbles!
Americans no longer care what blacks think. That's the main change.
Asserting that blacks can't pay their own way and therefore need to be treated sounds vaguely racist.

Even after reading the comments before going to the link, I still didn't know who Tumbles was.

Instead of comparing the 2013 and 2015 numbers, compare the 2008 number with 2015. The results are very different. The story isn't near as good.

Treated by whom? Other Blacks? Whites? The Government?
I am more concerned about those Black thugs who select-out, ON A BASIS OF RACE, White victims for their criminal attacks.
My opinion of blacks has really tumbled.
Is that what they are asking?
I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to give a damn.
The Left has used blacks as stage props for the last 60 years. Measured by results, there has been no greater government failure than Liberalism for the poor. So yes, blacks have been treated terribly.
Speaking solely for myself, I'm fine with the way blacks treat tumbles. At least, I haven't heard any tumbles complaining.

Poor Tumbles.
Enough with the mental gymnastics, buy the inner cities some balance beams. Tumbling's for cheerleaders.
Had this been a NY Times tweet, it would be followed up with: "Women, minorities hardest hit."
