A Question For White Liberal/Progressives (racism, Obama, election, elect)

[Californian34]

Do you think there has been an increase in anti black racism/sentiments since the election of President Obama? I am just curious about your perspective.

I don't know, in real life, I don't really hear it too much. Probably because most people would never say racist things out loud in front of people they don't know. Some people have filters. On here? I see it non stop from the cons. Keyboard commandos & all that.

if you frequented political forums before Obama was elected in 2008, which I did, do you see an increase from then to now in racist rhetoric?

I wasn't on forums back then so I really don't know.
