The myth of Obama being a divisive President grew from the seed of Trump's racism. [View all]

I was watching a discussion group on Abbie Phillips show on CNN and they were discussing, with a MAGA guest, why she thought Obama was the most "divisive" President? I never thought Obama was divisive. I thought he always tried to bring the country together. Naturally, black Americans were very proud to have a black man sitting in the Oval Office. White Americans, considering all the history of this country, should also have been very proud. That was progress.

But, one man, started a campaign of character assassination by claiming, with no evidence, that Barack Obama was not born in this country. He began his entire political career on that one lie. He planted the seed of racism into our politics and it was adopted by his followers. It was nothing more than racism that began the MAGA movement. It was started and led by Donald J Trump.

Although they would never admit it, MAGA is a racist group from the very beginning. It was born out of racism. There is no denial.
