Race in America under President Obama

I believe that Obama and his people have used the race card so much that it has divided the country. We do not need his negative way of thinking. I have never seen such a divided society and this only started since Obama was elected in 2008. We need to get back being a positive thinking country where Obama has tried his best.

Obama hasn't even hinted at threatening white privilege and whites are beside themselves trying to undermine an enemy that isn't there. In fact, with the talking down to black people at the same time he GIVES white failing institutions trillions of dollars, therefore I would argue he's their biggest cheerleader.

Many are expected to raise a lot of money when they are leading the committee or a special interest group. Furthermore, they way that politicians win elections is
