So with all of the questionable comments that Trump gets beat up over, how does what Obama said at Howard University today not get him accused of being a racist and divisive?

Sorry you had to deal with a congress that you think was elected by us ill advised white dummies that clearly only want bad things for everyone, Mr. President. Looking forward to your retirement, jerk.

There has never been a more racist president than obama. His self loathing disguised as unabashed narcissism is so plain and easy to see. He's a fool and a really bad guy in his soul, words, and actions.

He has actually been one of the best presidents, who will leave office with an above average approval rating and a healthy, growing America. Though his success has brought out the closet racists across this country. Pretty disgusting the amount of hate the man has received.

President Barack Obama's popularity is growing just in time for him to wage the final campaign of his political life.

So because of his quote, and me pointing out how racist and divisive it is, I am a closet racist?

No sh** ! His detractors fail to remember what a mess this country was in 8 years ago. People losing homes left and right, soaring unemployment, construction was at a standstill, and more and more. Here we are, 8 years later, new home starts are up, unemployment is low, and things are relatively calm around the world. Just think what he could have accomplished if the GOP didn't fight him tooth and nail every step of the way.

8 years ago, I had one of the very few shops that were rented in my complex, today, every one is full and there is a waiting list for any vacancies. But you and I might as well save our breath. Obama will never be any good in their opinions, no matter what.

However, you and I know the real truth, and that is all that matters.

I'm always fascinated by how many on the right believe he was the worst, when theres a ton of data saying otherwise.

Did I say that? It is a fact that when Obama was elected, the U.S. saw a massive increase in racist hate groups.

Southern Poverty Law Center Says Hate Groups on Decline in U.S.

Though, by 2012, when he won again, the number of groups dropped quite a bit. I think they realized they are on the losing end. Now they got the Trumpster leading the creation of the 4th reich so they are pretty happy lol (this is a joke to those offended..)

No, but you are implying it.

And I see no argument from you about the original point of this thread. Obama himself is out there making racist and divisive comments, he is only adding fuel to the fire.

I don't really get how you think I was implying that you were racist. I just told a fact, I am sorry you do not agree.

Can you point out those racist remarks from the transcript?
