Serious question: What did Obama do to supposedly make racial tensions worse?

  3. Serious question: What did Obama do to supposedly make racial tensions worse?
I really don't think he had much to do with it.

His presidency came just as social media exploded and online political movements started to boom. The 24 hour news cycle got increasingly worse during this period and began to involve aforementioned social media.

The widening access of opinion simply made public things people had been thinking for years but didn't get a ton of exposure for. Merge this with modern "pls give me a news story I don't care what it is" media that lacks journalistic integrity and you get a sharp political divide that's more public than ever.

Any race-involved statements made by any president will cause a shitstorm now because some insane opinion will become widely known due to social media/news media and a substanceless debate will spark around it leaving everybody bitter and angry.

obama was pretty spineless and a pretty incompetent president overall but I don't think it's a coincidence that political opinions and the venom surrounding them progressively went off the rails the more facebook/twitter got popular

Obama gave clout into the thought that there is a problem with police in America. Spoiler: there isn't. When you attack a cop like Mike Brown did, you may end up getting shot. Obama took the side of 'the suspect NEVER did anything wrong AT ALL". In reality, the suspect did do something, and paid the ultimate price for it.

Him being Black (yes, I know he's half Black) pissed a lot of people off across the country.

It was quiet till, as you said, social media started giving everybody a voice. So people came out and spoke and people countered.

The current climate is essentially people coming out of their bubbles and being shocked not everyone shares the same views. We were pretty isolated as people prior to the internet and social media. People stuck in their community bubbles.

I think it's because Obama assumed Martin was innocent -- when in reality he wasn't. He never brought up that Martin ended up making it home, but returned to attack Zimmerman due to pride. Thus, Zimmerman ending up having to shoot Martin to defend himself from a potentially life threatening injury (from the likes of Martin).

There's alot of things I could say about that, but that's for another topic. I find it hypocritical of people who want to point out stuff Obama did/say, but turn a blind eye when Trump does it also.

In other situations, Obama rightfully said "I'm not going to comment on that, there is an ongoing investigation" but during the Zimmerman fiasco it was "Trayvon Martin.. could have been my son."
Dielman on Rivers: "I've tried to get him to say s--- or f--- and all he'll ever do is say, 'Golly gee, I can't do that."
He said Trayvon could have been his son. Meanwhile, Trump is easing social tensions in this country by attacking anyone he can find, priority on people who he feels personally insult him.

This right here. No, not because it's right. It's the exact opposite of that really. It's just an example of right wing nutcases so devoid of reality that they make up this Silent Hill fantasy version of reality and apply those rules to what normal people consider reality.

    BLM was financed by FBI gifts via the Civil Rights Act.

    He said, after cops were murdered in Dallas and Baton Rouge, that cops needed to do better with black people to prevent such in the future.

    Alton Sterling was a convicted rapist, and in the aftermath of the worst flooding on record in Louisiana, he visited Alton Sterling's family and promised justice.

    I'm not really seeing how (even with various supposed flubs) he somehow engineered or created racial tensions. The media went off over the Trayvon case, for example. The most Obama could do at that point was add fuel to the fire (e.g. the "he could've been my son" comment), but that's not inflammatory and that's nowhere near as bad as what NBC did to stoke the flames over the issue.

    Could you stop being a gimmick account for one topic?
    Only thing that comes to my mind is that he was quick to throw words in whenever racial tension wound up in the media, before the whole story was released, and without understanding or respecting the complexity of the issue.

    Main thing I remember was when that guy was in a kerfuffle with some police officers, and Obama said they "acted stupidly ". But shortly after it was learned the story wasn't as cut and dry as initially reported.

    Basically, he jumped too quickly into any discussion about race and in doing so, probably started more fights than he resolved.

    Still, that is light-weight compared to what the OP stated, which makes sense and I agree with. Add to that that politics in general have been getting more vile and republicans especially were ruthless to Obama. Just, Obama didnt help matters much.

    Still, at this point we shouldnt be worried about what Obama did or did not do to race relations, and focus on the current situation. A lot has happened.

    Here’s the thing: They are probably right. Barack Obama did make race relations worse ...

    For white people.

    Since its inception, black people have known that this country was sick, but America treated its race problem in the same way the white world has treated everything else. It’s why they feel comfortable teaching us that the Roman Empire ruled the world, even while richer, more advanced civilizations thrived around the globe. It’s why your third-grade social studies teacher can tell you that Christopher Columbus “discovered” a land that already had people, governments and even constitutions.

    In the great book of rewritten history, white people invented the blind spot and peekaboo. In their eyes, nothing exists until they see it, and if they refuse to acknowledge it—then it doesn’t exist.

    If Obama had not signed the Affordable Care Act, killed Osama bin Laden or saved the nation’s economy, the one thing for which he deserves credit is forcing America to confront its ideas about race and racism. He may not have explicitly championed Black Lives Matter or raised a black fist on the White House lawn, but his effect on the psyche of black America is undeniable.

    In addition to weighing in on almost every major conflict involving police and a black man by not bothering to examine any facts before unilaterally taking the black man's side. And, even after the facts came in -- including Eric Holder debunking the "Hands up, don't shoot" narrative -- he never seemed to correct any of his claims. And, in general, the ONLY time he seemed to take the side of a white person over a black person was when he called Kanye West a jackass for interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.

    Can I ask a question? Was it fair for Zimmerman to follow Trayvon? I think no one understands that Zimmerman followed and harassed Trayvon based off of his appearance. Maybe, in the end, Zimmerman did self-defense. But the whole idea was to follow someone, Why?

    If you have a response @ me because I don't usually come on here.

    Only fucking morons think that Obama created a racial divide. The so-called "racial divide" has been a thing forever in this country that was caused by conservatives, and is now being perpetuated by Trump supporters.

    Just because some hick was mad that a person of color became POTUS doesn't mean that POTUS caused the hick to be a fucking blatant racist asshole.

    Obama gave clout into the thought that there is a problem with police in America. Spoiler: there isn't. When you attack a cop like Mike Brown did, you may end up getting shot. Obama took the side of 'the suspect NEVER did anything wrong AT ALL". In reality, the suspect did do something, and paid the ultimate price for it.

    Yes, there is.

    When he took sides on the Martin case. It was all downhill from there.


    So just because he said that Martin could have been his son, he choose sides? Really?


    Considering that his DoJ AG appointee tried to find evidence to charge Zimmerman for a hate crime in an investigation spanning 3 years despite Zimmer being found not guilty by a jury + this comment:

    "“The death of Trayvon Martin was a devastating tragedy. It shook an entire community, drew the attention of millions across the nation, and sparked a painful but necessary dialogue throughout the country,” said Attorney General Eric Holder."

    Yes. (and lol @ it being a devastating tragedy).

    Inb4 "well Holder isn't Obama". Jeff Sessions isn't Trump either; doesn't mean that Dems don't love pinning every action, decisions, and words by Sessions as being representative of Trump at large.

      Mesoamericans independently invented agriculture, built amazing stone structures, had a written language, cultivated many vegetables that dominate certain modern cuisines, and invented the rubber ball which later led to the vulcanized rubber that changed the world.

      Because other societies contributed stuff too, not just "the strongest". Ancient Greece wasn't a very historically "strong" society and they started Western civilisation. And strong societies tend to absorb ideas and talents from the weaker societies they conquer. To have a full understanding of the world, it's important to learn as much as you can about everywhere.
