Obama is Responsible for Racial Tensions in America Today
American Thinker ^ | 14 Sep, 2020 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 09/14/2020 4:48:31 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Racism is America’s original sin, and despite a century and a half and more of efforts to put it behind us, it is more of an issue than ever. A great deal of this is the responsibility of a man whose election to the presidency was hailed as the beginning of a new, post-racial era in American society, a man who was supposed to embody America’s rejection of racism: Barack Hussein Obama.

There were many people who opposed Obama who nonetheless hailed his election to the presidency for what it showed about the United States. There are vanishingly few countries that have ever elected as their head of state someone from a minority group that previously faced discrimination. Obama’s election was supposed to herald the end of racism and the beginning of an era in which human beings truly were judged by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin.

Things didn’t work out that way. As Rating America’s Presidents: An America-First Look at Who Is Best, Who Is Overrated, and Who Was An Absolute Disaster demonstrates, throughout his tenure, Obama stoked racial tensions rather than calming them. When he took office, the Justice Department was pursuing a case against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation in Philadelphia. Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, abruptly dropped the case in May 2009 and refused to cooperate with further investigations, giving the impression that the Black Panthers were getting away with voter intimidation because of their race.

The people who voted for Obama twice are responsible for the racial tensions today.

Obama, yes. He's a profoundly racist and hateful man with an incendiary hatred of America. He wants to destroy America as founded and (in classic leftist style) ran on a platform of being the opposite of his real intentions. That's why people consider him an anti Christ.

Interesting. Last night Wallace was talking to Biden campaign person and discussing Woodward and COVID and Riots. This man actually was trying to blame President Trump for riots and Wallace hit back hard (surprised me) how can you blame President for riots when state and local governments in these states are refusing to handle shut down of over 100 days of riots. This guy blathered on about how this didn’t happen under Obama. I’m thinking Ferguson and other riots that broke out. But Wallace was actually calling this man on his BS.

Zero threw gasoline on the embers.

But mostly its been the 70 years of bad bad welfare policy that binds them to poverty. Keeps them dependent on the government. Encourages them not to look to themselves for a future of course all done with the best of intentions. So white liberals can feel good about themselves for caring.

You’re see it played out again in rural America and producing the same results.

“Zero threw gasoline on the embers.”

Legend in his own mind. Flame thrower god...

I know, everyone here is probably shocked and surprised. After all, everyone is
used to seeing Ares portrayed as some kind of all-powerful villain.

Because what a person considers “powerful” varies from one person to another, you can often make a case one way or another. I, however, think that the weakest of the Twelve Olympians in Greek mythology is clear and obvious: Ares.

https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2019/04/13/ares-the-most-pathetic-and-impotent-god-in-greek-mythology/

Instead of Hades, he has earned Tartarus...

In Greek mythology, Tartarus was both a primordial deity that existed before the Olympians, as well as a name to describe a region of the Underworld. As a god, he was third in rank after Chaos and Gaea, preceding Eros.

As a place, it was far below than where Hades resided and it was used as the most horrible prison. Some accounts say that the distance between Tartarus and Hades was the same as between the earth and the heaven. Although the kingdom of Hades was the place of the dead, Tartarus was where ferocious monsters and horrible criminals were banished, or where the gods imprisoned their rivals after a war.

Place for the geek-like Greek God. Up yours, Berrie.

White voters elected a black man POTUS and a decade later are accused of “systemic racism”.

The damage 0bama did to race relations can not be overemphasized. The jug-eared jackass has done a lot of damage, and continues to do so as the quintessential community organizer.

O-BM-A seethes with hatred of Pres. Trump, more for his accomplishments than policy. Trump is 20 years older yet is up almost 20 hours a day, with an energy level many times greater than O. People love him, he speaks extemporaneously, nothing illicit can be found in his record, and O knows his own entire history is fake.

The seething, narcissistic rage of O is dangerous. He wants revenge not only politically but personally.

That arrogant pos isn't even black. My husband and I had planned to vote for Herman Cain, who was a true black man. Unfortunately he had to drop out before the primaries even began, because of what the media did to him and his wife.

The author left out the most important example.

At a fundraiser in Philadelphia in June 2008, Obama said "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

Well, they're filling the streets with gunfighters now.
