Obama wants to keep racial resentment going

One thing that is lost in the cultural fights and the rhetoric that has divided the country is that former President Barack Obama is one of the biggest culprits behind those divisions, especially when it comes to race.
Obama this week took several shots at Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), saying that people are “rightly skeptical” of a Republican who “doesn’t have a plan for how do we address crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in this society” and that we can’t just “pretend as if everything’s equal and fair.” Along with that, Obama also said that the GOP has embraced resentment and anger.
NO DEI MONEY FOR ANY FEDERAL AGENCY
Yet racial resentment has been Obama’s whole schtick. Obama fanned the flames of racial division when the Black Lives Matter movement popped up in 2015. He said that the death of Michael Brown, who had assaulted officer Darren Wilson and attempted to grab Wilson’s gun during a confrontation Brown initiated, was proof of a “broken and racially-biased system.” He also claimed that “millions of Americans” were racists who were “spooked” by his election in 2008.
Obama’s message now is that black people cannot have any success in America without some “plan” handed down by the government. It’s the same message you can find now being pushed in schools to children in the form of critical race theory. Obama wants black people to think that those same “millions” of racist people who hated him will stand in their way at every turn, and that the criminal justice system itself is “racist” because a criminal was shot by a police officer after attacking that officer.
Obama’s racial fearmongering should be contradicted by his own political existence. The man who served as president of the United States for eight years wants you to think that millions of racists and a racist system are holding black people down. Tim Scott’s message of “cotton to Congress in one lifetime” very explicitly rejects that view, and Obama cannot stand for that. Obama and racial grifters want black people to believe they cannot succeed on their own, which you can use to draw a direct line to Black Lives Matter and the “anti-racism” equity movement now.

Obama has mostly succeeded in his goal of dividing Americans along racial lines. Around 70% of white people and 60% of black people viewed race relations as good from 2001 up to 2013. In 2015, that number tanked to 51% of white people and 45% of black people, and it has declined further since then. Obama allowed Black Lives Matter and its fictional narrative about racist police shootings to become the dominant narrative. The decline in the perception of race relations over the past decade rests on his shoulders.
Obama and the Democratic Party want the racial grift to continue, which is why he chose to single out Scott. The accusations of “resentment” and “anger” can apply to Obama as equally as they can to someone such as former President Donald Trump. The toxic political state of the country can be traced directly to Obama’s presidency, and he is determined to help activists keep that toxicity going.
