Nothing was simmering until activists and the media turned on the burner.
It just wasnt as prevalent in the news cycle but there was plenty of fricked up shite happening before Barack Obama.
In 2007:
Sheriff's deputies gunned down by "Aryan" gangsters in Bastrop, La. Tax protesters with bombs arrested in New Hampshire. Gun-toting white supremacists marching in Jena, La. A police officer murdered in Salt Lake City. Nativist leaders demanding sniper teams and mines along the Mexican border. Calls for assassinating politicians, immigrants and Jews. Rapidly spreading racist conspiracy theories.
FBI stats showed a 35% increase in hate crimes against Latinos from 2003 to 2006.
But yeah, when the black guy got elected is when things went to shite. He's still rustlin y'alls jimmies.

I don’t think anyone claimed there were never any incidents of racism. I was simply saying that overall race relations seemed pretty good.
