Obama’s Racist Legacy

Excerpt from "The War on Whites" by Ed Brodow

According to Gallup, the percentage of Americans who agree that black-white relations are good is at a 20-year low. It all began with Barack Obama. Different racial and ethnic groups were getting along just fine until 2008. Then Obama showed up and racial division was reintroduced into American life. Instead of recognizing the significance of having a black president, the US has been plagued with an epidemic of racial conflict.

Obama’s inflammatory statements, one after another, fomented animosity between races. Accusations of white privilege and white supremacy have monopolized our civil discourse. When police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, arrested African-American Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Obama intervened, saying that the police “acted stupidly.” According to Reuters, Obama “plunged his presidency into a charged racial debate and set off a firestorm with police officers nationwide by siding with a prominent black scholar who accuses police of racism.” Online polls in Massachusetts, it turned out, showed strong support for the white arresting officer.

“[Obama] has alienated public safety officers across the country with his comments,” said David Holway, president of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers. Obama later admitted that he had acted poorly in a racially charged case. But the harm was already done. The public was duped by the liberal canard, implied by the president, that white police are out to get black men. Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder continued to imply that black men are dying at the hands of oppressive racist cops. The media ran with it. The gullible public bought it.

After the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager with a history of violent behavior, Obama inflamed racial hostility among blacks by saying, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” Once again, thanks to the president’s poorly timed comment, we were manipulated into believing that the black perpetrator was the victim and the white defender was the felon. While addressing a group of police at a slain officer’s funeral, Obama made this insensitive statement implying that racist police continue to abuse black criminals: “We know that centuries of racial discrimination, of slavery, and subjugation, and Jim Crow didn’t simply vanish with the law against segregation. We know that bias remains.”

For the entire term of his presidency, Obama tried unsuccessfully to hide his racist views from the public. In a revealing CNN interview, Obama griped that white people are angry because they have to share the country with non-whites. He thinks that if whites refuse to accept race bashing, that makes them racists. If they don’t prostrate themselves before critical race theory, he believes, it is because they are afraid of black and brown population growth. Whites should be happy to comply with the inquisition that CRT is mobilizing against them. They should simply take their medicine and shut up.

Now we know how Obama really feels about the nation that embraced him for eight years. We know without a doubt that he hates America and its white inhabitants. Obama bears “the lion’s share of responsibility” for the virulent anti-white racism that reared its ugly head during his tenure, said Ted Nugent on Real America’s Voice. “He literally reignited racism in America.”

Post-Obama, said Chris Donaldson in BizPacReview, anti-white hate “has since metastasized like a cancer throughout every institution in America.” Obama and his ideological heirs believe that the US is a racist country run by a cabal of immoral white people. To correct this perceived abuse, they want the destruction of all existing political, economic, and social institutions. The Left wants to replace our country with an authoritarian socialist nation run by unaccountable Washington bureaucrats—the Deep State.

“Leftists want you to think America is evil, a horribly racist nation that oppresses everyone except straight white men,” said Aaron Kliegman, politics reporter for Fox News Digital. “And anyone who defends, let alone celebrates, our country is complicit in the oppression. To the Left,” says Kliegman, “America is something to hate, not love, and being American is a source of shame, not pride.”

Barack Obama, with able assistance from the media, has pulled off one of the greatest cons in American history. He is the first person who hated America to be elected President of the United States.

That is his true legacy.
