Race Relations Are at Lowest Point in Obama Presidency

I don't really think it has anything to do with the color of the skin of the person in the WH.

I don't really think it has anything to do with the color of the skin of the person in the WH. I think it has more to do with their governing ability and their politics. Obama has a knack for speaking before he has all the facts and many times taking the wrong side. This only inflames feelings on both sides. He needs to through away Alinsky's book and start actually acting like the President. To bad he only has six months left.

I believe it did have to do with the color of his skin right from the start. If I had a penny for every derogatory comment

made to me personally about him being black from white people, you can't argue with my personal experience.

I do not agree with every one of his policies by far but he has turned a lot of things around from the Bush years for the good

of the country.

I disagree that he speaks before he has all facts and many times is on the wrong side. Between him and his obstructors

he is definitely on the right side.

He sure as heck is acting like a President, nothing indicates that he is not, yes too bad he only has 6 months left !

Maybe the real twitter baffoon, Herr Trump, will impress you with his "presidential" rhetoric and

demeanor.

I for one will be ashamed in front of the entire world should he become the next president.

Having said that, of course there are people who don't like his policies and it has nothing to do with his color.

I don't speak in terms of all, everybody, none or always or never.

To say it has nothing to do with his color is being naive.

You spot the confederate flag in the photo posted ? Why is it there when protesting Obama ? To be proud civil war

historians ? Come on get real !

Many do not like having a bi racial or black president and many don't care so why say it has nothing to do with his skin color ?

Obviously I am talking about those who do have an issue with skin color.

Stop sweeping facts under the rug as though it doesn't exist.

Disclaimer * I am not saying that everyone who dislikes Obama is a racist before the one liners start to roll here, I am saying that

many people object of having a bi racial or black president in the White House. If anyone can't see that then they are part

of the under the rug sweepers.

@Ebunoluwa:

If you address The Donald "Herr", then you need to also use the original German family name. So it's either "Mr. Trump" or "Herr Drumpf".

I haven't. But those that spread them around certainly seem to have developed amnesia.

Why do people constantly deny that racism does exist ? Do they think their balls will fall off or what ? I don't get it.

I really don't. What is it that makes them retreat into such denial ? Someone enlighten me.

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

We can just call him RUMP. Love the Rump memes.

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

Because Hillary is the sane choice. Dear God

SAN(ER).

My best guess is that they don't want to admit that minorities aren't solely responsible for their lot in life. If they'd admit that, then they'd also have to admit that all their criticisms of affirmative action programs and the like aren't really justified. They'd have to admit that they were wrong criticizing these programs that are designed to level the uneven playing field. They'd have to admit that their entire bootstraps argument is hollow. So they're in denial. Deep denial.

It is mind boggling. I can't compute the denial. It may stem from fear and a superiority mindset.

50 years and more work to do. Melanin, go figure.

And in doing so, they will have to admit that they are part of the problem. It's much easier pointing the finger somewhere else other than at themselves.

Most of the criticism against Obama has absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin. Sure, there may be very few people who don't like him due to that, but if you think it's the majority or even anywhere near the majority you're living in your own world.

Did you not read man. You are part of the problem. I wonder why I disliked Jimmy Carter as much or more than Obama. He is not black.

This from earlier this year:

A new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds that 53 percent of Republicans still doubt Obama’s citizenship.

53% - that's a majority of Republicans. But sure, keep telling yourself that that has nothing to do with the color of his skin.

53% is a majority. By God Forrest we will make an officer out of you.

That's not what the poll results said, but do dribble.
