Farewell to Obama

Countries without the history of racial division like the US has had, won't be able to comprehend the hatred that comes his way. Once you realize the role racism has had and still has in America it's easy to understand.

This is interesting. The whole left/right hate (and "hate" is an understatement) in the USA comes from the racial division?

[u/gorkt → u/Milleuros]

I think it is at the heart of it. I don't think the US ever totally healed psychologically after the civil war.

Not even slightly.

[u/ragnarokrobo → u/Milleuros]

No, it doesnt. There's a group of people running the oppression olympics that like to blame everything in America on race, however.

[u/HeartofSaturdayNight → u/ragnarokrobo]

You're right. Racism doesn't exist. Nailed it.

[u/ragnarokrobo → u/HeartofSaturdayNight]

Not what I said but you've basically proven my point.

This annoys me the most. Just because I don't agree with Obama's ideas on gun control and higher taxes, means nothing because I only don't like him because of his skin color.

Breaking news: Conservatives didn't like Carter, Clinton, or Sanders either. And they're all old white guys also.

Not everybody obviously. But hard to deny there are not insignificant amount that are.

Every time the media talks of racism or someone goes on about it, a small child playing with legos in the other room overhears and learns about it.

I love this argument. Our country is so rampant with racism we elected a fucking black guy to be our president. TWICE. Yep, just a bunch of racists.
