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
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.

Oh this is stupid. Black people calling white people out on their shite and demanding equal protection under the law isn't harming race relations.
Here's what MLKJr would say about that kind of thinking:
"First I must confess that over the last few years, I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that Negro's greatest stumbling block toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council or the Ku Klux Klan, but the white moderate who more devoted to order than justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with the goal you seek but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set a timetable on another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a more "convient season".
