Racism was already on the decline before Obama though. It became more racist due to his actions with controversial issues and I'm not talking about white people.
The only reason it became more racist was, like you said, due to Obama.
For example, he was black. That’s a big no-no for the trailer park residents. He was also elected president. WHILE BEING BLACK! Absolutely abhorrent for the hill people. Add onto that, he was a likable president—while still remaining black. BIIIIIIIG no-no for the closet racists.
I can’t believe he started the racism by being black. Absolutely disgusting.
Jokes aside, I’m genuinely shocked how easily Trump brought out the Jim Crow lovers from the woodworks. Like, I knew a lot of people in the US were racist as fuck, but I never expected “The South will rise again!” people to be such a large portion of the US.
