What? No he didn’t. Or, excuse me, if he did he did so merely by being black. Which, if that’s what you’re saying, then I kind of agree in a practical way. Black guy assumes most powerful position in the free world —> racists start acting out, kill some folks —> black guy says you shouldn’t do that —> racists say see he’s taking their side! It’s the dumbest fvcking narrative and absolutely mind boggling that so many people buy it.
And what’s funnier is that the guy that followed him WOULDN’T DENOUNCE REAL, CARD CARRYING RACISTS. Played to their support in fact. But yeah, Obama is the one who caused the divisiveness.
Good lord, man. At least say he tore the scab off something that was always there. That I could believe. Doesn’t make it his fault but I could accept the argument that his ascension to POTUS was a root cause in that scenario.
For the record, I’m a middle of the road pragmatist. I would and have voted for both sides depending on the candidate and their particular views. Mostly because I view hard line ideology as stupid and detrimental.
