Everyone came together in the days after the attacks
I don't remember it this way. I remember everyone talking about how everyone was coming together, but the reality was paranoia and the pundits waiting for one side or the other to use it as a political football first.
There was certainly a few areas of the country where blacks and whites came together to aggressively and loudly be racist against Muslims. My own was one of them.
The problem is, nobody in any news or media or talking head industry actually left their little urban bubbles. So to them it was all a ruse. But some of us certainly had a brief "My American brother, let us kill the sandniggers" few weeks.
