🧵 Who destroyed America’s hard-won progress on race? Three words: Barack Hussein Obama. Here’s how he took a nation moving toward unity—and drove it back into division. šŸ§µšŸ‘‡

2/ By the early 2000s, America was closer than ever to being truly post-racial. Opportunities were open. Hard work, not skin color, defined success. Schoolkids got along and dated each other. Then Obama came to power—and lit a match under old grievances.

3/ Case #1: The New Black Panther Party. Caught on video intimidating voters in Philadelphia. DOJ had a strong case. Eric Holder, Obama’s AG, dropped it. Message: racial favoritism > equal justice.

4/ Case #2: The ā€œBeer Summit.ā€ Henry Louis Gates vs. a white cop. No evidence of racism—just a heated arrest. Obama declares police ā€œacted stupidly,ā€ turning a local spat into a national racial incident.

5/ Case #3: Trayvon Martin. Media edited tapes to frame it as racism. Obama: ā€œIf I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.ā€ Evidence didn’t back him up. Martin attacked Zimmerman, who was acquitted. DOJ declined hate-crime charges. But the racial narrative was weaponized.

6/ Case #4: The ā€œClock Boyā€ stunt. Student brings suspicious device to school. Obama immediately elevates it as ā€œIslamophobia.ā€ The signal was clear: šŸ‘‰ Always assume America is guilty of bigotry.

7/ For 8 years, Obama pushed the same line: šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø America is systemically racist. šŸ‘® Police are inherently biased. āš–ļø Minorities are always victims. Facts didn’t matter. The narrative did. Because happy people who get along don't vote to "fundamentally transform America".

8/ Result? šŸ”» Trust in law enforcement eroded. šŸ”» Racial tension escalated. šŸ”» Division and resentment grew. By 2016, America was more divided by race than it had been since before I was born. That’s Obama’s true legacy.

9/ Racial unity was within reach. But Barack Obama chose his Socialist politics over peace. History won’t remember him as America’s healer— but as the president who made race his weapon.

@RodDMartin The presidential library Obama deserves.

@RodDMartin If only our first Black president had been Ben Carson, Tim Scott, or Allen West, instead of this fucking traitor.

@RodDMartin Your thread is gaining traction! #TopUnroll https://threadreaderapp.com/th... šŸ™šŸ¼@GoldStuart for šŸ„‡unroll

@RodDMartin The malevolence of @BarackObama should never be understated or forgiven. He’s a truly bad person who has done incalculable damage to America and the world in general

@RodDMartin Illegitimate president that Kenyan born pošŸ’©should have never been president to begin with. Everything he ever did needs to be reversed, and he needs to face the consequences of our laws.

@RodDMartin AMEN. He has proven himself to be the President of Division and Deception. He’s a slick-talking Socialist/Communist/Globalist …, a master manipulator. He fooled many. But now he’s been found out. MAGAšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ¦…

@RodDMartin The first Black president is also the first to destroy America intentionally.

@RodDMartin It was all done by design and on purpose!

@RodDMartin That was his power angle and he used it effectively against everyone. White racism was almost gone and black racism was negligible and then came Obama and it all went up on both sides, he divided us again and did so much damage it may take decades to recover where we were; if

@RodDMartin I have said many times that Obama was the reason for the great divide. He is a monster in sheep’s clothing.

@RodDMartin All. On. Purpose. Globalists wanted a race war.

@RodDMartin The one thing back then I thought I could be positive about with him… Wolf in sheep’s clothing. Now, the dude is just evil.

@RodDMartin Hard to argue otherwise. And that was probably the intention. If you want to take power -- and tear a nation apart to do so -- divide it into groups and hype grievance and resentments so a once unified people see each other as enemies. An age old strategy.

@RodDMartin @Mebeafrog12185 Spot on! But he also polarized the opposition to creeping socislism/communism and the Islamic threat.

@RodDMartin EVERYTHING was better before Obama.

@RodDMartin I remember feeling disappointed when Obama was elected, but I consoled myself by thinking, ā€˜Well, at least we’ll be moving past racial divisiveness.’ Ha!

@RodDMartin BHO not only divided the country over race, but also divided the country via politics. The Russia Gate hoax/coup/con impacted more than DJT and the innocents whose lies were ruined over a false narrative. Russia Gate extended far beyond DC. It became highly personal and

@RodDMartin Yep a progressive wolf in sheep’s clothing. Every bit the bitter Al Sharpton race baiter. Spat at the very white working class - many who voted for him - the moment he took office. Odious individual that took race relations back decades

@RodDMartin I will never forget sitting in my hotel room watching him speak during his campaign and being inspired by utter B.S.! I voted for him he first time and WORST MISTAKE EVER!

@RodDMartin The one thing Obama did was to declare, "America is no longer a Christian Nation". He was planting the seeds for a Muslim takeover.

@RodDMartin He destroyed a lot more than just racial unity, he upended the DOJ, FBI, CIA, EPA, DOD, Public Trust, Foreign Policy, Healthcare, actually the list is long and covers most Government reach but he Fu€ked them all up just the same

@RodDMartin That is just one of the many things that POS did to try and destroy the US. I really hate that MF'er.

@RodDMartin He wanted a race war.

@RodDMartin Truth!!! I’ve been saying that since the day that evil person joined the race for president.
