Barack Obama's presidency was supposed to mark a great leap forward for the United States. But, as Omar El Akkad discovered as he travelled across America this year, the election of Donald J. Trump has turned the country against itself. Scenes from a divided nation

I hate the new Civil War because they killed off Captain America.
I liked it better when he punched Hitler.

Obama is organizing a seditious group to go against the US and the Constitution. This idiot is probably one of the 30K members. Blacks get privilege period.

"I am an immigrant in a country that purports to be a melting pot ..."

You didn't melt. You are slag. Leave.

[Pilated]

Omar, please go home and take your book with you.

The Globe and Mail published his grievances.
It’s not worth spit.

America’s divisions were greatly magnified by Obama/HilLIARy/Pelosi... and funded in large measure by enemies of this country like SorozNazi and foreign Muslim dictatorships.
Every possible effort was taken to create more and more division and dissention, on any and all ‘lines’ of attack (religious/secular, black/white/other, male/female/other?, old/young, loyal/disloyal...you name it, they magnified and divided it on us)

Obama left America in the wrecked condition you observed, and more...Omar.
Trump appears headed to healing many of these divisions, we will see. One thing for sure, Trump didn’t create the problems.. he wasn’t even in politics when Obama/HilLIARy/Soroz/Pelosi and other political hacks and enemy-funders did this to us.
And yes, if you don’t like USA then please do go back to Krapistan and may you have a good life there. We will fix our problems nicely without you.

For the past four years, I have lived in America, but America does not belong to me. Here, I am part of a minority that constitutes the majority of the world: I am a person of colour. I am an immigrant in a country that purports to be a melting pot but is in reality a crucible, a vessel of fierce and fiercely luminous burning.

Nobody gives a Fluck about any of the things you purport.

Liar...

Welcome to America...

"Barack Obama’s presidency was supposed to mark a great leap forward for the United States.”

Obviously the US is already ahead, the rest of the world should catch up. And America continues to heal from Obama's backwards revolution to fundamentally change it.

Then, he shakes the hands of the infidels with the same hand.

If I,a US citizen,were to write such a vitriolic piece about Canada I'd fully expect Canadian officials to take steps to ban me from entering the country.Not only would I expect it,I'd also fully understand it...as would,I'll wager,most Canadians.

DJT should take steps to ban Abdul...or whatever his name is...from setting foot onto US territory.

[Hardastarboard]

I fully expected it.

Exactly.

"Barack Obama’s presidency was supposed to mark a great leap forward for the United States.”

Ten bucks says that Abdul doesn't have the first clue how many people died a few years back in the *original* "Great Leap Forward".

Hey Omar! Your hero (or zero) Baraq caused more racial division in 8 years than the KKK did in 100 years.

Suck on that snowflakes.
