Race relations during the Obama presidency could not remotely compare to what went on in the fifties and sixties in America. Back then people were hated and discriminated against because of their color. They hated Obama because he was black, the 44th president after 43 white presidents, and just plain racism by mostly repubs and extremists.

Well count me in. I am nostalgic to what America was, I no longer recognize it and the peoples actions. I voted for Trump and am still hopeful he can make America STRONG again. I have watched while 8 years of Obama drug us down. Race relations are the worst I have ever lived through and pre Martin Luther King days. MLK would be devastated today.
