Biden and his Liberal buddies have turned race relations back 50 years, with all their fake "Racist Riots" Racist hate of Asians and Blacks and turning it on whites, BS Critical Race Theory-Bunk, Calling Repuplicans White Supremists, bending on their knees for 9 minutes (for the votes) when they could care less for the last 45 years about blacks.
Actually, we were quite divided long before Obama. And in many instances, we have OURSELVES to blame for that. America has ALWAYS been divided, from day one. Civil War? Bleeding Kansas? Riots of the 1960s? Racial violence throughout America's history? Think about it. It's ALWAYS been this way.
I disagree. In the heyday of the civil rights movement and the years that followed, we enjoyed significant improvements in civil rights, thanks to truly great people like Rosa Parks and Dr. King. Then we had the rise of the shysters, exemplified by Jessie Jackson. Obama, apparently inspired by Jackson and company, starting unwinding the accomplishments of MLK and other real civil rights leader. It's been downhill ever since. When the fog of wokeness dissipates, Obama will be widely recognized as one of the most evil leaders the world has ever seen. He's not Hitler level, but the widespread impact of his hateful rhetoric will take decades to repair. He's evil incarnate: charismatic and charming - the perfect tool with which to spread hate.

There might have been gains in civil rights. However, there was still alot of racial strife left over. Alot of people got up in arms about busing, Go look at how some people in Boston reacted to busing. There were still riots going on in the 70s, and even into the 80s and 90s. It might have not been on the same level as it was in the 1950s and 60s.
And something else. I was alive in the 1990s and 2000s. I was 6 years old when the Rodney King riots occurred. Obama had nothing to do with that. Obama had nothing to do with the riots that occurred in Miami and New York during the 1980s/early 1990s. He had nothing to the riot that occurred in Seattle in 2001, or Cincinnati in 2001. The violence between Blacks and Mexicans in Los Angeles, you can't blame that on Obama. Things continued to go crazy even after the civil rights movement accomplished some important things. The truth is, society never really did become truly united.
I voted "about the same" only because some issues have become more divided (vaccine mandates, critical race theory) and others have become less divided (the election fraud debate, handling of DOJ).
But if there was a "The country is divided over different issues under Biden than it was under Trump" option, I would have selected it.
I think we're about the same. We were very divided as a country BEFORE Biden got elected, and we're still there now. Call me a cynic and pessimist, but I feel like America will never fully be united. Many people are of the mentality of "My way or the highway". And I'll admit, there is a part of me that's like this. In order to be united, it will require compromise from everyone. It will require everyone rallying around a unifying cause. And as of now, I don't see that ever happening.
Which is why Balkanization isn't too much of an extremist idea.

"And something else. I was alive in the 1990s and 2000s. I was 6 years old when the Rodney King riots occurred", etc., etc.c.
Do you NOT see the pattern?
A black, with along rap sheet, BREAKS THE LAW, AGAIB, is trying to be arrested, resists, and it is the white mans fault
I think were about the same, the polarization that emerged during the last administration has continued. With half the country only accepting their way of seeing/doing things, with that unity will be a far flung dream.
