Obama “caused” racial division because was black and people were racist. There’s literally no question that Trump made it worse. |
It takes a quick Google search. Took me about 15 seconds. Here you go: https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/08/26/joe-biden-responds-jacob-blake-kenosha-wisconsin-violence-unrest-lead-vpx.cnn |
Obama was 'post racial', just ask him. Not sure how Trump has made things worse. I would say that the fringes have made things worse. |
Bowser denounced it. Forcefully. |
And then in the same week we saw those RNC guests being beaten up in Lafayette Square and we have heard the role she played in denying adequate protection. #fail |
There is so much sensitivity around using federal LEOs because of Trump’s actions earlier this year. Every single thing he has done has inflamed tensions instead of calming them. |
you’re not sure? ha. |
They were also being attacked and targeted because of their race. |

Biden isn't going to do much but return Obama's good policies which will take the entire 4 years.
Obama is an amazing speaker and community organizer but when he got to office he did none of that and didn't use his previous focus of bringing people together which was really disappointing. Biden isn't going to be able to tame or get logic into any of the crazies on both sides. |
Yes, so forcefully that they were yelling at people trying to get into their hotels on Thursday. Really effective. |
What? Did that answer the question? People don't like Trump because he is Trump. But what did he do to make racism worse? Oh, and I had never heard that President Obama 'caused' racial division. I heard what the other person did. The US is post racial. Heck there are WaPo headlines claiming as much. |

It is disingenuous to say you aren’t sure what Trump did to make racism worse. There are so many examples.
1) Charlottesville, a peaceful protest interrupted by racists carrying torches; where one young woman was run over by a racist. Trump’s response “there were good people on both sides” 2) calling African countries “sh#tholes“ 3) Trump on Mexican immigrants “ When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” 4) Trump to Governor Whitmer on armed protestors storming the Statehouse, “The governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire,” the president wrote in a tweet on Friday morning. “These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.” 5) Trumps response to BLM in Lafayette Square - gas them 6) Muslim Ban 7) Fail to unify all Americans and caters only to his base. Just ask Former Trump Defense Secretary Mattis how Trump is responsible for the current unrest: “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” Mattis writes. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.” |
| Trump made it okay to be an extremist with questionable mental health and no morality. So here are all the other maladjusted extremists showing up to the party. Is anyone surprised? Why would anyone vote for 4 more years of this crap? |
You are insane. |
I am a HUGE President Obama guy, but it was President Obama that started this unilateral, no consensus behavior. Somebody mentioned it earlier, the leadership by executive order was the beginning of the end. |
