> God you people are evil. We have a problem with race in this country. Just look at how the white supremacists are openly supporting Trump and not one word of repudiation. Yet you people blame a black president for ‘dividing’ the country because he’s black and somehow that might be important in a nation with a lot of racism. What would NOT have been “divisive”? If the word “black” had not once passed his lips during his entire presidency, I’m quite sure you “stop Obama at all costs!” assholes would STILL claim he is divisive just because he’s black and a Democrat.

I understand the temptation for a guy like Obama to speak from the black man’s perspective; but as President of the US, he is supposed to represent the whole country, white, black, and the others. This country is still majority white. Also, he has a duty to wait for the facts to be in, not saying “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” Nor should he have commented on Henry Louis Gates until facts were known. Nor should his AG called America a “nation of cowards.”
