For nearly 50 years, until 2009, the United Sates experienced enormous progress in race relations. Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities and not the nation’s ruling elites and patronizing liberals, this country was well on its way to racial healing. In 2008 only 18% of all Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country. By 2017 that number had skyrocketed to 45%. Further, in 2008 66% of Americans thought race relations were good; by 2016, 63% thought race relation were bad. The common denominator in this freefall and primary instigator of the current societal chaos and national uncertainty: Barack Obama.
As President and a man of African descent, Barack Obama was in a position to permanently mend fences and end the exploitation of racial politics bubbling beneath the surface. In fact, the American people, in particular the African American community, were confident that race relations and opportunities for minorities would improve during an Obama presidency. A CBS poll taken just before the 2008 election indicated that 47% of Blacks and 29% of Whites thought race relations would improve while 42% of Blacks and 48% of Whites thought it would remain the same. Only 7% of Blacks thought that Obama would make matters worse.
However, true to his Marxist upbringing and indoctrination in Critical Race Theory, he created and exploited racial tension for political objectives and monetary gain for him and his fellow travelers.
Barack Obama and virtually all of his black and white collaborators on the left view the African American population as both useful pawns in their insatiable quest for self-aggrandizement, financial benefit and political power, as well as helpless minions to be paraded about and bought off whenever convenient to the overriding political, societal or self-serving cause.

Yes.
I hate to say it, but the statistic we need is the percentage of blacks that think race relations are in good shape.
All false, in every detail.
This entire period marked a relentless deterioration in personal safety, in living conditions, in education and in health for MOST of America's black population.
Cities like Baltimore, Memphis, Birmingham, Rochester NY, East St. Louis, Camden, and famously Detroit have become dangerous beyond imagining.
And, at the same time, the internal relocation/migration of white people to get away from these dangerous cities, really too numerous to count by now, has assumed world-historical proportions. And the guns! Who ever knew we had so many hunters!
Prior to "the last 50 years until 2009", which the author describes as a time of "enormous progress", things for black people living in those cities were much, MUCH better.
To call what has happened "progress", never mind "enormous progress", is willful blindness.
B.O. was/is a communist first. His family and everyone he knew were also. Unfortunately the dumb populace ate up the propaganda and here we are.
Don't "hate to say it". We cannot survive the coming storm without the truth.
And the truth hurts.
Obama may be the worst thing to happen to the USA. By time he’s through, our nation may look nothing like it once did. And yes, he still pulling all the strings.
Obama was groomed to be president since he was in college, even before.
So whoever selected him is who is really in charge.
Much of obama’s problem is that he’s never been comfortable in his own skin. Being half black/half white, he never quite understood where he fit. He provides (or made up) a few examples of how he saw racism as a child in one of his books.
He also never had a real father in the picture growing up. His father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was already married when he was having sex with obama’s underaged mother. His father hated WHITE COLONIALISM and blamed it for all the world’s problems. I am not sure if obama has tried to win the love of a sorry ass father that was never there.
Either way, obama doesn’t know where he fits — black or white.
“Don’t “hate to say it””
I didn’t want to appear to be defending Obama.
It is already nearly unrecognizable compared to 15 years ago.
“It is already nearly unrecognizable compared to 15 years ago”
Camden and East St. Louis have been the same for 40 years.
Soetoro is not smart enough to have thought this up himself, of course.
He is merely a puppet of the globalist communists, with the CCP at the root.
There were very good reasons why the founders excluded the children of foreigners from being President with the natural born citizen requirement.
