What event happened 15 years ago in the US to have trigged this

I will give u a hint, the 2009 crisis and the resulting 99% and occupy wallstreet protests...the rich couldnt have the poor joining up targetting them, so they had to use divide and conquer tactic...suddenly all media were pushing society towards controversies, one side being overly lenient giving positive discrimination to minorities, and he other side going the opposite way and doubling down on discrimination like it was 50yrs ago...this was all orchestrated, a house divided has issues mounting a full protest against the landlord
