it's funny how people think racism only exist because of Obama despite me hearing the N word and other forms of racism growing up and still to this day witnessing many racist and oppressive acts

just because POC/Minorities are creating dialogs and bringing awareness to the deep rooted white supremacy of America doesn't mean it's "more racist than it ever has been"


white people are just getting uncomfortable for getting called out on their shite

We've all experienced racism to some degree in our lives. We've all witnessed it as well. But I'm strong enough to see that for every racist act, there are many many more acts of people coming together and working together. Racism has been and will always be present. You can harp on it and let it ruin your day, or you can choose to see the positive and be the change you wish to see in the world.

I hear it today as well, almost exclusively said by black people to other black people.

And don't be stupid, no one thinks racism only exists because of Obama, but most people are disappointed in the fact that a black President was elected, and did more to harm race relations in this country than heal it.

Where are you getting that people think that racism exists because of Obama? And don't say this board because many on here know that racism has always existed and will continue to exist. The point is Obama, a black president, helped worsened race relations.

No it gets annoying when everything is turned into a race issue.
