Racism. Its the term you use when you have absolutely nothing else. Pretty much expected of his total failure as a leader and the most divisive President the US has ever known.

Obama's contributed far more to popularizing racism than Trump, the alt-right, or the KKK; And I don't just mean against whites. The KKK membership is growing. Is it because they made a compelling case of their ideology to the public? Not really, the left did their work for them. The more you attack people, the more they feel the need to stand up and defend themselves.

You'd have to be pretty dumb to join the KKK. I know the term honey pot is thrown around a lot here but the KKK is filled with FBI agents.

I mean, it's not illegal to join the KKK. I'm no fan of the KKK, but I don't really get your point. Is the point that fear of being put on a list, labeled, or being watched should govern the way you legally associate? You could probably draw parallels about joining this website.

Call me a fucking racist then. Obama was a terrible president, and his legacy as the first black man to sit in the oval office will be forever shat on by historians and pundits. To Hell with Obama.

Hey, just because Obama was economically the fourth worst president in American history, overspending his budget by eight trillion dollars (which is almost as much as the debt of every other president combined) and just because he enabled the spread of Islamic State and was a globalist whore who spent his time trying to undermine our freedom by disarming us while orchestrating an Islamic invasion...
... I forgot what point I was trying to make.
I'll let myself out.

I'll be so relieved when this White-hating scumbag moves out of the White House.

I thought hating a politician for being a useless POS, regardless of skin colour, was normal. Silly me, all that white supremacy must have gone to my head.

As long as the Alt-Left keep up with these identity politics, the normal people living in the real world, will rule. Stand up to anyone who tries to shut down free speech! Funny how 30 years makes a difference in ideology. I thought conservatives were suppose to be the one putting labels on albums, movies and such. Now the Alt-Left is trying to silence EVERYTHING! Go to their sites. Read their articles. See what they are doing to push their opinions. When you see how ridiculous their argument is we can laugh at how weak they are.
