The reaction of the American left and its adjacent black political class to the arrival of 59 white refugees fleeing de facto genocide in South Africa, combined with ever-accelerating racist rhetoric and demands from America’s black population has further exposed the depth of anti-white racism in the United States and accelerated race fatigue among the vast majority of the American population.
...
These openly racist comments are not surprising, given that there is among the black political class a constant and endless drumbeat of anti-white rhetoric from virtually every black member of Congress, state legislators, mayors, and many of those now seeking political office. Almost all of them are enthusiastically supported by the majority of black media outlets and websites.

For forty-five years (1964 to 2009), the United States experienced noteworthy progress in race relations. Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities throughout all regions of the country, this nation was well on its way to racial healing. In 2008, only 18% of Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country, as nearly 70% thought that relations between whites and blacks were very or somewhat good.
In 2009, the most divisive and societally destructive president in American history, Barack Obama, came into office determined to reverse this trend by manipulating the black citizenry into abandoning racial harmony. To do so, he maliciously demonized the white population. He succeeded in fanning the dying embers of racism into a potential national conflagration.

Race Baiting Poverty Pimps and the Perpetually Professionally Aggrieved
The one thing he said that is not accurate is that the War Between the States was not “about” slavery and the union soldiers who died certainly did not do so to end slavery. They were quite explicit that that is not what they were fighting for.
I think I read here on FR at one point, a phrase I use regularly - When everything is racist, nothing is racist. Makes racist heads explode on contact.
For forty-five years (1964 to 2009), the United States experienced noteworthy progress in race relations.
Hmm, I wonder what happened in 2009 to change all that?
Our parents fought these battles and I am fed up to here with it.
Notice how someone is trying to rename “Black Fatigue” as “Race Fatigue”? Next, they will call it “White Supremacy”.
The union soldiers did not start the war. The confederates did and they most certainly were fighting to maintain their way of life. The north led by Lincoln fought to preserve the country.
If there had been a small minority of slaves in the south as there was in the north, there would have been no war.
So yes slavery was the root cause but the potential breakup of the fragile union was the proximate cause.
Soldiers don’t start wars. Politicians do. Like now.
Let’s bring back bigotry. focused on behaviors.
“If this continuous drumbeat of race hatred continues, then American society will assuredly descend into chaos as the white and other minority populations will abandon trying to coexist with the black population.”
The truth of this cannot be avoided if the black community continues on this path.
Just one more feature of the Kenyan’s reign.
One good thing is that now he is alone on the island.
He no longer runs the White House.
His “wife” is leaving him.
His “kids” are grown up and are gone.
He is no more political stroke.
You are correct. Some
Anyone wanting to know why the US civil war started can read the history and see for themselves. It was King Cotton and Slavery. The Southern political ruling class was clear that they would only remain in the Union if Slavery would continue. And the Election of 1860 put this in doubt. The newspapers and documents of the era make this clear, such as their ordinances of Secession and the confederate Constitution.
The arrogance of their leading politicians was their undoing. They failed to understand the resolve of the North. And they thought that King Cotton diplomacy would save them. They were wrong.
France and the UK wisely stored up a huge surplus of cotton betore the war. This surge of cotton exports from the south made the arrogance worse. But when these countries found alternate suppliers of cotton then they survived the loss of the South supply.
With King Cotton dead for diplomacy the South was out of cards. Some people think that the early 1860s was the high water mark for slavery in America. I think the numbers are that the mid 2020s are more like it with all this human trafficking and exploitation by the new King Cotton barons across the land, in particular Big Tech and their slave visa programs.
Lincoln started the war and he did so deliberately. Southerners were fighting to defend themselves from a hostile foreign army that was invading. Its as simple as that. Lincoln and the Union fought for money and empire. They fought to overthrow the original constitution and to impose a government upon people who did not consent to it.
Neither secession nor the war were "about" slavery. The Northern dominated congress passed by requisite supermajority and several states ratified and Lincoln endorsed in his all important first inaugural address, the Corwin Amendment. This was the North's slavery forever constitutional amendment. It would have explicitly protected slavery by name and enshrined it in the constitution. Given 15 states still allowed slavery at the time and it takes 3/4s of all states to ratify a constitutional amendment, had it passed there would not be enough states even today to pass another amendment repealing it....at least not without the consent of the 15 states that still allowed slavery. It meant slavery forever. Everybody well understood that. They could do basic math back then too. The Southern states rejected it.
So no, slavery was not the root cause.

That would be the inauguration of Obeyme.
And deservedly so.
Why are O’Bungles and his band of commies (Rice, Holder, ValJar, etc) still breathing?
Anyone who thought after the OJ verdict that race relations were even somewhat good wasn’t paying attention. Obozos efforts wouldn’t have gained so much traction if race relations were anywhere near what most Americans seemed to think.
Yep, Democrats NEED poor race relations - it's simple math. They lose the overwhelming black vote and they are done.
And, he was a liar and a lightweight.
