It was if you were black. Jim Crow was alive and well. If you saw the movie “The Help” that’s how I grew up.
Obama infers that half the country was racist. That is BS.
America was well on its way to becoming a color blind country until Obama was elected. He has set race relations back 20 years. He and his wife had an opportunity of a lifetime. They took that opportunity and instead of doing good they have done almost nothing good when it comes to race relations. I grew up in the south and I've never once uttered the "N" word. Because I grew up with black folks and was raised by my parents to not think of them any differently than anyone else. Obama makes me ill. He is trash. That has nothing to do with his skin color and everything to do with his racism.
