THAT I can believe. As the gap between rich and poor widens and blacks are in the latter group, what else would it be reasonable to expect?

Based upon what? Their paying attention to too much news media, I'd bet.

Yeah, what Lone Wolf said.

Perhaps too many people at the lower end of the totem pole are waiting for things to happen instead of making things happen!

The American media doesn't function without 'us v them'.

Obama needed a huge turnout by African Americans in 2012 in order to beet Romney. He ginned up turn out by increasing the sense of Black grievance. The percentage black turnout was greater than the white turnout. Obama uses divisive tactics electorally.

And WHAT is wrong with that? You'd expect stronger support from his "own people"!

Just like the Dems.

BHO the unifier.

Own people ? 1/2 white 2/5 Arab 1/5 Black . No slave ships in his background unless you count the overlords .

I'm sure most of this stuff was already there, but seeing a Black man elected president really seemed to bring a lot of nasty stuff to the surface.

If you don't like the President's policies... you're a racist.

Particularly from BHO.

If you don't like the President's policies... you're a racist.

Amen.

Far too many people have done a good job of making that a reality.

Do you think creating divisions among the American people is a good thing? Divided polities don't last.

Does opposition to all leftists constitute racism?

Far too many people have done a good job of making that a reality.

This is your opportunity to adduce evidence proving your assertion. We all wait to see what you have.

Do you think the whole "Birther" movement would have gained so much traction if he were white? Would people be questioning his college credentials?

Certainly not everyone who disagrees with him is racist, but race was obviously part of the issue for all too many people.

That is obvious, even among the gentle posters of CC.
