racial tensions
There are racial tensions because some people, of both races, think we're still in the 1850's.
Basically there will always be tribals no matter what you do, but I have to agree with espio. It's ridiculous how some think every time an officer shoots a black american, that automatically makes said officer a tribal scumbag. But whenever it's the reverse, not nearly as much of a big deal is made (on the news, etc) as well. The ones who do shoot based on racial profile deserve punishment, but they aren't all like that... I really wish people would just stop.
Please change that word right now.
Also, that can be a friendly term. I know many people in my school who call each other that, no matter the race. I never use it myself, though. (Think of it as saying "Bitch pls", or "Bruthah" based on the context.)
