Fact: during his two terms in office, White Nationalist groups quadrupled in size.

Have race relations worsened since Obama was elected? The best data, two polls commissioned by The Associated Press, suggest the answer is yes. The number of Americans with “explicit anti-black attitudes” rose from 48 percent in 2008 to 51 percent in 2012, while implicit racist attitudes went from 49 percent to 56 percent. Another set of A.P. polls showed anti-Latino attitudes had climbed between 2011 and 2012.

Other evidence supports the A.P. findings. According to counts by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of hate groups in America rose from 926 in 2008 to 1,007 in 2012, while other types of radical-right groups rose much faster. (By 2016, it was 3095.)

Those numbers do not merely reflect antipathy toward the person of Obama. More profoundly, they are a reaction to the “browning” of America — the prediction by the Census Bureau that non-Hispanic whites will fall below 50 percent of the population over the next 30 years — and the many changes accompanying that.

Other factors contribute to that census. The other facts if brought forward would drive the liberals more insane than they already are. For the liberals never think they're wrong even when the facts prove it... They just point fingers and use the Saul Alinsky " rules for radicals" BS.

Of course Obama and his largely communist and Muslim administration (As well as his supporting news outlets), is primarily responsible. Disparaging the police in favor of black racist criminal types has infuriated a lot of decent Americans. If Obama had been a decent person rather than a subversive Muslim Communist Revolutionary that needs social chaos in order to advance his agenda, he would have said something like this about Michael Brown who got himself shot: "There seems to be a problem with excessive criminality and lack of respect for working in certain segments of the black community. If Michael Brown and other black folks who get themselves shot by the police would only have been cooperative and follow the police directives rather than becoming obstinate and even combative. They would've gone home, or perhaps to jail in good health".Then he should have said something about the difficult job pulling is doing for our benefit and that they deserve our respect. (And have good reason to be a little paranoid) So have wisdom and be courteous. ----- But you know as any communist activists and revolutionary would want, he would like to have seen sufficient social chaos to be enabled to declare martial law so that you could complete his promised "Fundamental Transformation' of America.

He had all this social chaos started and all those Sorros funded radical groups will carry on the fight to turn this into a communist country so that we can be acclimated into the coming Luciferian communist one world government.

Your facts are alien to me. It's a fact that leftist domestic terrorist groups like BLM flourished and were recognized and feted by the Obama administration. It's also a fact that the Obama administration imported terrorists by the boatload from Muslim countries during his administration. It is also a fact that there are college campuses now where blacks are ASKING for segregation, and even more colleges where white conservative students are maginalized and shunned. Further, it's a fact that the Southern Poverty Law Center thinks that Christians are domestic terrorists, which makes many of their other proclamations suspect. So yes, I would say that the Obama administration was responsible for the extreme upsurge in prejudice against whites, and white Christians in particular.

So you are saying that the growth in the Alt-right is Obama's fault? How is the fact that there is so much hate on the right side of this country the responsibility of Obama? Is there no point at which you conservatives can take responsibility for yourselves?

Steve,
Your right on target...

Pete,
You must study 'Rules for Radicals or the 'Saul Alinsky Plan' to see@@ the BIG PICTURE on how they are converting our nation into a Communistic Totalitarian country.
There are 8 steps to accompolish this. Racial Warfare is one and total disarming is the final step.
Once civil commotion is rampart, then Martial Law is instigated, then disarmament. If uncooperative, off you go to a FEMP 'Re-Education ' CAMP.

Can't argue with that. Had Obummer steeped up, and put a stop to the actions of so many blacks, rather than turn a blind eye to the hate shown by them, then whites may well have a better out look. It is hard to trust when a race holds more that live by hate and violence, than don't. Even harder when the ones that don't, seem for the most part to just make excuses for the ones that do.
Don't get me wrong, there are some, (a vary small %) that do speak out. To them I take off my hat.

Of course we hate what Obama has done to this country and the racial division he has aggravated with the help of the leftist owned news media. Didn't you think trading 5 savage terrorist commanders for a traitor/deserter/defector that we should have wanted back for no reason other than to court-martial him was indicating that Obama was a subversive Muslim terrorist himself ??? Are you aware that he installed 600 Muslims & Communists in our government, including Muslim brotherhood Muslims as advisors to homeland security ??? Where you okay with Obama waiting until ISIS had gained sufficient power and strength and was ready to move into Iraq, and then against all advisors, both military and civilian, pulling ALL soldiers abruptly out of Iraq but leaving all of our military hardware there for ISIS to take possession of ??? --- Did you have a problem with Obama siding with black racist thugs over the police and stonewalling the investigation of Obama's black racist Atty. Gen., Eric Holder's gunrunning to the Mexican drug cartels ??? You think that the IRS went out of its way to target conservatives for some other reason other than because it was a directive from Marxist subversive Barack Hussein Obama ??? And you slanderer the man who put himself in great risk and gave up the job he loved to use his know how and fearless manner to end corruption and restore this nation ??? You think it was okay that Obama is responsible for all that destabilization of nations and chaos in the Middle East. And for his support and financing of Islamic jihadists and Islamists ??? I think you area demented Marxist programmed willfully blind crackpot fool and the un-American one.

Amen to that. Obama turned his back on any white shot by a black man, but when it was the other way around, he was all on it. He divided this country much more than anyone else could

Steve,
The 'Libtards" aka 'snowFlakes" just can't see the truth.
They simply refuse to see the Big Picture...
sad, sad indeed

There is NOT so much hatred on the "right side of this country," - wherever that locale might be???

The Alt-right is another of those imaginary words signifying nothing.

Before committing the grievous error of electing the Hater-in-Chief, Barack Obama, racial relations in this country, though not perfect, were far down the proverbial list of common complaints heard from the populace, media and/or politicians.

Twice electing a man of some color, - gray, perhaps, certainly not black, should have put a nail in the coffin of any thought of this being a "racist" country.

Instead, from day one, if any one disagreed with Obama about anything, he/she was, of course, racist!

The national media acquiesced, and have seen nothing but racism as the cause, regardless of the subject, ever since that day one.

The "right" does NOT feel hatred, but complete disgust and exhaustion from the scarcity of truth and common sense to be found anywhere left, beginning the day Barack Obama ascended to his throne.

And if you conservatives had been decent people we wouldn't even be talking about this...

chuckybrass

Figure heads are not the problem. It's the financiers behind it all. The time has come to take all anti-Americans that do use harm and liquidate them. Too bad McCarthy failed to complete his cleansing. He was right all along.

The Alt-right is the name that neo-Nazis, the KKK, and white nationalism came up with for themselves. Alt Righters--often young white male intellectuals who are wired into social media--have repackaged white supremacy into what they label a white identity movement. Alt Righters rail against traditional Republicanism, express support for Trump, and trash multiculturalism, political correctness, and globalism. The Alt Right pits itself against “establishment” conservatism, writing, “People who identify with the Alt Right regard mainstream or traditional conservatives as weak and impotent, largely because they do not sufficiently support racism and anti-Semitism.”

The Alt-Right lies at the center of hatred in this country and it's through Trump they've become empowered. They grew out of the internet culture Brietbart and of course deny they are racist. And yet when you look around, it's scenes like Charlottesville that they are identified with--where they are marching with Nazi paraphernalia--and in no way hiding the hatred they hold in their hearts. This has nothing to do with Obama. Trump empowered the worst elements of hate in this country and he gave them safe haven in the republican party. If you don't like it, it's up to you to kick them out...and blaming Obama is no way to accomplish that...
