It's not necessarily so much about "hate".

I think racism is way overblown by the pandering left wing media, but It is certainly not gone entirely. Honesty, what do you think the reaction would be from a lot of the posters on here if their daughter brought home a black man?

It's not that it has flared up. Racism is actually at an all time historical low but the race baiters that feed on it are magnifying what's left of it using social media.

Honestly it is a very simple answer, Blacks were starting to vote Republican in increasing numbers and it terrified the Democrat leadership and large donors (Soros etc). In order to swing the pendulum back they need a "us against them" battle and here we are.

Personally I think they miscalculated a bit but time will tell.

Blacks have gotten super outspoken lately.

Most black people used to be friendly - now I get so much attitude from black women (and sometimes black men) that it's bordering on absurd.

It's like they are overtly racist in the manner that you'd see white people be in "The Help" and "Driving Miss Daisy"

I say most of that in public frequently. Especially frick Obama. He basically obliterated our healthcare system so it would go to a single payer system and redistribute wealth. frick that socialist POS and his bullshite legacy. Hope he donates all those $500K speaker checks he is cashing now....but I highly doubt he does.

I think trayvon and docial media becoming big around that time started it off, then ferguson/baltimore a couple of years later.

Things weren't anywhere near this bad at the end of GWs term and Obamas early years. The media found a cash cow and it was easy to partner with leftist sites like twitter/FB to push the narrative.

Its social media/Obama(and holder)enabling/MSM/Paid Actors/Hollywood etc would made this a big mess. I really do think social media has the biggest part in things though, Twitter/FB were much better 6-7 years ago.

Because the left is trying to divide the country and create a government that has total autonomy over the people.

In large part it was a result of Obama's election and subsequent actions as president. Once he was elected, many blacks felt it was a turning point where the country would magically be solved of all its ills. Once Obamas extremely liberal platform started getting pushed with disregard for the process of government, and people fought back against it, he and his ilk began using his race as an excuse to vilify the opposition.

The media grabbed onto this and since Obama being elected magically didn't change the black populace to be socioeconomically equal to whites and others overnight, they pushed he racism card.

The problem is that moderate and non-racist people started getting fed up and vocalizing their displeasure with he bullshite. The democracts then pushed the agenda further linking all the minorities as victims from race, to gender, to sexual orientation. All this led to the election of Trump in reaction and made nuclear because the Dems tried to force Hilary into the White House despite the fact she is a cancer and is part of the reason their party is dying.

Exactly

What has obama done for the black community? That 220 mil he gave to Pakistan while he was walking out wouldve helped places like flint (who 100% voted for him twice)
