BARACK OBAMA DID NOT WORSEN RACE RELATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY! This is the stupidest shite you people say and it's so fricking untrue that's its lauaghable at this point.
I don't recall a lot of this shite happening before he became president. He definitely wasn't the sole reason race relations got worse but he certainly didn't help it.

You don't recall police brutality cases before Barack Obama?? Does Rodney King ring a bell? You don't recall the LA riots that happened because of the Rodney King verdict?? The same shite has been happening for years! Just because you don't know what's going on doesn't mean it isn't happening

I'm taking about the number of them.
Obama hasn't helped race relations get any better by saying things like if I had a son.
Again it's annoying when everything is made into a racial issue.

Because IT IS A RACIAL ISSUE!! Denying it doesn't make it go away or make it any less true. The number is the same as it ever was once again it wasn't happening in the age of cell phone videos. Now police misconduct can be broadcasted for the world to view. The same things were happening in the 90'd and the early 00's.
so it's uncomfortable he said if he had a son he'd look like Trayvon Martin?? Man that's a you problem not his.

Yep it's 100% the white peoples fault. Keep thinking that way and nothing will ever change bro.

Yes it's all the fault of police brutality and white people. Even though statistically it is far more likely that a police officer will be killed by a black man than an black man is likely to be killed by a police officer. Keep blaming everything else while accepting absolutely no responsibility and nothing will ever change!

My understanding of MLK's views were that he wanted equal rights, not special rights.
He would be ashamed of the BLM and other movements that want special rights. He would not associate with Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton at all.
His 'dream' has certainly been exploited by those trying to grab their own power...

I wasn't aware there was a racial divide. Idiots protesting about black lives mattering doesn't equal a racial divide. I'm plenty cool with other races

how about you open some history books and figure it out yourself. do you say "but the blacks!!!" for everything?
Real life experiences have made me realize racism doesn't stem from white people. It stems from being diff than some one else.
For the guy your are responding to, it just seems like the president has said things to create more division. Media has done the same thing. Not that they caused racism. That they have done nothing to help race relations.

Blaming Obama for the current state of race relations is like blaming Apple or Samsung for making phones with high quality cameras that capture all the footage.
Obama's presidency happens to coincide with a technological boom in America.
There were no HD camera phones prior to 2008 and no 4G mobile networks.
Race relations are actually probably the best they have been in my life time. Things have been relatively equal for black people for a generation now.
Some blacks have escaped generational poverty and some haven't. 400 years of inequality can't be completely fixed in 1 generation.
Most Americans get up and go to work everyday and don't give race a thought. People only seemed to be consumed with race on the internet (especially the OT).
