For nearly 50 years, until 2009, the United States experienced enormous progress in race relations. Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities and not the nation’s ruling elites and patronizing liberals, this country was well on its way to racial healing. In 2008 only 18% of all Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country. By 2017 that number had skyrocketed to 45%. Further, in 2008 66% of Americans thought race relations were good; by 2016, 63% thought race relation were bad. The common denominator in this freefall and primary instigator of the current societal chaos and national uncertainty: Barack Obama.
As President and a man of African descent, Barack Obama was in a position to permanently mend fences and end the exploitation of racial politics bubbling beneath the surface. In fact, the American people, in particular the African American community, were confident that race relations and opportunities for minorities would improve during an Obama presidency. A CBS poll taken just before the 2008 election indicated that 47% of Blacks and 29% of Whites thought race relations would improve while 42% of Blacks and 48% of Whites thought it would remain the same. Only 7% of Blacks thought that Obama would make matters worse.
However, true to his Marxist upbringing and indoctrination in Critical Race Theory, he created and exploited racial tension for political objectives and monetary gain for him and his fellow travelers.
Barack Obama and virtually all of his black and white collaborators on the left view the African American population as both useful pawns in their insatiable quest for self-aggrandizement, financial benefit and political power, as well as helpless minions to be paraded about and bought off whenever convenient to the overriding political, societal or self-serving cause.
In August of 1963, as a college student in Washington D.C., I participated in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the highlight of which was the “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King. Thereafter and for a couple of years I became involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
It is hilarious – most of the people that voted for him that expected the race relations to get better – only wanted ‘reparations’ – free stuff (welfare, food stamps, housing, Obama-phones). Then they perpetuated the stereotypes and expected more and more handouts. When the handouts stopped and jobs became available – it actually improved for a few years…
Now we have Turd 2.0 making it worse!
Obama was and continues to be a wedge, not a healer, not a unifier. And he’s one of the most arrogant people on the planet.
Race relations were pretty darn good until Obama got in there and stirred things up and got the ball rolling on racial strife. Now Biden, under the supervision and direction of Obama is making it even worse than it was under Obama. Trump was a healer and things were going good on the racial front, but Biden is making matters worse than ever. God help us through with this idiot we now have as a so-called president. Without teleprompters and mouth piece spokesmen (and women) talking for him and putting words in his mouth, he wouldn’t have a clue what day it is.
This is true and Obama DESTROYED everything Martin Luther King Jr fought for all his life. Martin Luther King Jr. did not care about he color of a mans skin but of his character. Obama comes in as President with his wife who is a racist of whites and destroy everything this man fought for.
