Blacks, whites give up on Obama mending race relations

President Obama's historic election, considered one of the biggest-ever advances for African Americans, has faded in importance for blacks due to his failure to fix race relations, according to a new Gallup report.

When elected, 71 percent believed that the "Obama effect" was "one of the most important" advances for blacks, but now just 32 percent agree. More disturbing: Slightly more, 33 percent, believe that his election and presidency is "not that important" for blacks.

One reason may be because Americans of all colors believe race relations have gotten worse under Obama. When he was elected, 70 percent believed race relations would improve. Now more believe they have gotten worse because of Obama.

And how will all the talking heads report the poll?

"Despite Black President, Americans Still Racist."

Obama and Michelle hate white people. They are extorting taxes from them, and giving generously to their favored groups (non-white, non-hetero, not particularly Christian). But, none of this is good for harmonious relations. It’s a spoils system, not a merit system.

“Blacks, whites give up on Obama mending race relations”

Is this from “The Onion”?

Obama mending race relations

That is the greatest lie and fairy tale of the last 8 years. Obama has PURPOSELY used race for political advantage in Alinskyite fashion. He has not sought out the moderate elements on both sides, but rather, has promoted the radicals to push an agenda. He has created conflict on purpose.

I knew before he became president he would make things worse in America in many ways. Unless you are an agitator who likes his style, he should be considered a complete dud and failure on the racial harmony front.

It’s going to be very difficult to get blacks off of the democratic plantation.

It’s hard to be successful at something when you’re doing your level best to do the opposite.

Obama has ruined it for blacks. A large percentage of the whites who voted for him will hesitate in the future to vote for a black man who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.

Important ? It was an epic f***ing fiasco for not only Blacks, but for everyone across the board (except for his wealthy puppetmasters and cronies, and ISIS).

We all knew he would make things worse, judging from the books he wrote and the company he kept.

He is the epitome of a race hustler and a complete, utter failure at restoring American greatness.

I was talking about the Obamas, not blacks as a group.

They have been a major inflammatory factor.
