    President Obama isn't the cause if race relations have deteriorated. Blame the racists.

    You see, to make race relations BETTER for a whole lot of whites, there'd have to be a lot more shoe shine boys in front of banks, in airports and in train depots. It hasn't panned out that way under Obama so I guess you could say race relations are now worse.

    Did you really expect no resentment for the first black president

    If anything, some low-level or underhanded racism has been exposed because of it.

    More a function of the internet and social media - Obama just happened to be President when racists on all sides
    gained a platform to reveal themselves ...

    Op needs more substance.Perhaps some documented examples or something.
    As it stands this should be closed.
    No supporting documentation=Thread Failure.

    Are they really worse, or have our expectations simply changed?

    I bet Obama would have been really popular with some folks if he had: Recinded the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965. :smile:
