The reality is that Obama had an opportunity when he took office to build on all of the progress in race relations and put us even further in the right direction. Even among those who didn't vote for him there was hope that at least his election would be a good thing for race relations - making it clear that you could achieve anything in the US independent of your skin color.

Much of what he has done has had the opposite effect, and this is not because of racism against him, but because he has pursued an aggressive ‘in your face’ style of government, used socioeconomic inequality as a weapon, and instead of looking for solutions to problems ‘together’, used the standard Alinksky methodology of defining villains in society to blame social ills on.

The problem is that even in the social/societal context, for all actions there are opposite reactions - and unlike physics these reactions can be greater than the original ‘action’.

Obama could stop this. He could be a leader. He could speak to the black community and say,
“I grew up black and white, and although there's a lot I don't know, I do know that most people on either side are just people, and they don't hate, and they aren't racist. Where we have racism in society, from whites, from blacks, from hispanics, from anyone against anyone, let's address it. However, let's not turn back the clock on all that we've accomplished, and let's not label all bad human behavior racism.”

He could do a lot of things, but the truth is that he, like the Clintons and many others, use social divisiveness as a weapon and a tool - and it keeps them afloat politically.

Obama WANTS racial division in America.

He has systematically gone about increasing it.

Obama (or his persona, managed by Democrat puppetmasters out of view) is a political opportunist of a very low kind. His party right or wrong, and it’s more and more wrong, not that the GOP is that stellar.
