The first black skinned president turned out to be the meanest and most divisive president in history. And the most prejudiced against various groups of people. Conservatives, the so-called “wealthy”, gun owners, etc.
During the times of slavery in the US maybe at its peak 20% of American families in the states that allowed slavery owned slaves. Because most white colored people entered the US after the civil war today at best only 5% of the population in states that allowed slavery have a direct link guilt to the past exploitation of slave labor. Of course, a hundred years of Jim Crow laws, economic oppression and indefensible discrimination followed the theoretical emancipation of the slaves, but those harsh realities raise different issues from those connected to the long-ago history of bondage. The bottom line is that very few white Americans today have any direct link to slavery.
On balance Obama is the most prejudiced people in a major political office in the history of the United States. The reality is that he came in to office at a unique time in American history when race relations were the best they have ever been. Instead of working to heal race relations in a way only a black skinned man could have he did the opposite. He has pitted not only race against race but people in different economic classes against each other and people of different social interests against each other.
Barack Obama has turned out to be the most racist and hateful president in modern history. Why?
Why, to restate the obvious, because the Media and GOPe lets him get away with it!
