9-11 also started the narrative that cops were HEROES.
Born in 1980...I never grew up looking at police as Heroes. That title went to Fire fighters and moms.
9-11 was also short lived and strengthened "patriotism", NOT race relations.
And let's not forget, 9-11 brought "Patriotism" to whites, blacks, and maybe hispanics, but for Arabic and Muslims (and French to an extent) it took awhile for them to recover in the eyes of "patriotism." "An enemy of my enemy" is a friend can only last so long until the enemy is gone. Then where does that leave you. Back at square one.
If anything, 9-11 just made America more racist in the long run. It's like History is repeating itself. Blacks and white fought together in World War II (to an extent), came back home and fought each other.
