Pretty funny that the first black President we ever elected who tried to walk a line in every thing he did leading him to being accused of not "being black enough" by many POC is the one people say created divisiveness.

First of all 

Secondly, nobody said he created divisiveness. The dems used him to create the divisiveness we see today. They then doubled down and accused Trump of being "literally Hitler" and all of his supporters of being white supremacists. The fact that you don't acknowledge it for what it was tells me you're full of sh!t.

Libtard thinking: I support the police. A cop somewhere unjustifiably killed a black man, therefore, I am a racist.

If there was a divisive player it absolutely started with Obama, and I think Trump was the voters response to the Obama divisiveness.....

I think people wanted to hate Trump and made it up in their heads why they were right to do so.  The fact that they pretended he was bad and made up reasons for it, and ignored the great outcomes he secured shows me that we have a section of population that does not care about people at all, but only about their self virtuosity...

Who are these millions of racists that voted for Trump?

 

Lots of people supported Trump because he carried, or spoke, or views that had racist coded language. I don't know if Trump is a racist but I do know he appealed to racists.

This was said in the thread. So yeah- people absolutely said he created divisiveness. And liberals that called Trump Hitler are idiots too. Same as the people who call Dems Nazi's or any of that stuff. And liberals that called all Trump supporters white supremacists are idiots too. But yes there are white supremacists who supported Trump and he smartly and purposely appealed to them.

So, people who didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton, the old rich white lady, are racist. It must be because her and her husband did so much for black people. And let’s not forget how much Obama did for them.  Can someone make a list? Start with inner city schools.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. ... They're sending people that have lots of problems. And they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." He's highlighting that many Mexicans are drug dealers and crime committers except for a few. It's pretty standard use of "Look I like this so it's okay if I hate that" turn of phrase.

 

" “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,”...I mean , 3 of the 4 are American born citizens.

Over 2200 ads on Facebook that used "invasion" about the southern border. 

Those are all coded things he is saying. And again- I'm not saying he is racist. Just saying- he knows how to play to the people who are.

How do I know he appealed to racists? A team from the University of North Texas recently produced a study that found counties that hosted a 2016 Trump campaign rally saw a 226% increase in reported hate incidents over comparable counties that did not host such a rally. 2 million people more voted for Trump in 2016 than Romney in 2012 and 3 million more than voted for McCain.

I dont want to get into semantics but "it started with Obama" is not necessarily saying "HE started it." I think the Democrat party used him as a pawn in their racist, divisive, political game and he was a willing participant. I don't think he, himself, was as polarizing as was his husband and the likes of Pelosi, Schumer, et al. They relished the fact that they had a black president with whom they could bludgeon the opposition into silence for fear of being labeled racist for merely opposing their agenda. It was sickening and a lot of people got tired of it. Hence the landslide election of President Trump. 

You can say white supremacists voted for Trump and you're probably right. Racist blacks also voted for Obama and against Trump. It is what it is. If you want to claim that Trump courted the white supremacist vote then you also have to admit that Obama courted the racist black vote and fanned the flames of racial division to secure that vote.

Invasion - an incursion by a large number of people or things into a place or sphere of activity. The media has referred to and invasion of our southern border a number of times. A racist sees racism everywhere.

and yes rapists, murders, gang members, pedophiles, terrorists, fentanyl, guns, etc are all crossing our borders by the thousands today. And if you believe the people crossing the border are these countries best you would be a racist by your standards.

 

The extra votes came from Blacks and Hispanics.

People from Mexico who illegally cross our border are bringing drugs, they do commit crimes and they do rape the women and children who are illegally crossing the border with them. That fact is indisputable. 

I don't need to dig up the full quotes, I quoted the pertinent portions. Obama took public positions based on race rather than contextual facts. He did so on purpose to create animus and divide us along racial and political lines and he succeeded. 

I don't think it was his idea to do so but his handlers told him to do it and he did.

Here is the full Cambridge quote.  Please explain how this shows less racial divisiveness.  

Quote

“I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry,” Obama said. “No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And No. 3 — what I think we know separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that’s just a fact.”

The Cambridge police didn't do anything stupid. They stopped and questioned a guy who was at a house they were called to for a potential burglary. That guy turned out to be the homeowner, who happened to be black and an asshoIe who didn't want to cooperate with the investigation. 

If Obama had a son the only thing in common he would have with Trayvon Martin is what? That's right, the color of their skin. 

 

What do both of these scenarios have in common? Hint: they both involved black men who brought negative consequences upon themselves due to their actions and Obama defended both of them for no other reason than the color of their skin.

Here is more you are leaving out:
 

Quote

 

Obama said that he, too, would likely be stopped by police if, like Gates, he was seen forcibly entering his home. But the president, standing in the East Room of the White House, laughed at his own hypothetical example and said that since the White House is now his home, if he were forcibly entering it, "I would be shot."

Saying that while African-Americans and Hispanics are more frequently stopped by police, Obama said, "That doesn't lessen the incredible progress we've made. I'm standing here as testimony to that. And yet the fact of the matter is it still haunts us."

Obama acknowledged that Gates is a personal friend and that since he was not present, he cannot know exactly what role race may have played in the incident.

 

Yeah...lots more context than you want to point out. Obama says the cops did the right thing initially. What he objected to was what he believed to be Gates being arrested after showing his ID. Police dispute that is what happened and it never came out which order things happened as far as I can see. 'He also apologized to the officer directly (when did Trump ever apologize for anything?) and said in a later press conference he needs to choose his words better to address it all. 

Nice try though by you. Nice to see you are sucked into the soundbite wars.

'He also apologized to the officer directly (when did Trump ever apologize for anything?) and said in a later press conference he needs to choose his words better to address it all. 

Nice try though by you. Nice to see you are sucked into the soundbite wars.

 

1. You asked for full quotes.  I gave you one.

2. You then provided more quotes, but without a citation.  And those don't diminish his divisiveness.

3. Whether or not Gates showed his ID is irrelevant to the fact that Obama stirred up racial divisiveness.

4. Apologies are nice, they are an attempt to diffuse the divisiveness he created initially.

and finally:

5. To insult me in getting "sucked into the soundbite wars" when (a) all I did was provide the quote you asked for, while (b) you have contorted yourself more than a Russian gymnast in making Obama seem like he never created divisiveness, is... interesting.

Otherwise, good job, good effort.
