It all started with OBAMA The Race-Baiter-in-Chief.... (THREAD 🧵)
You were sold a fairy tale. The story of a post-racial healer, a uniter who would mend our nation's oldest wounds. It was the greatest political lie of our generation.
Barack Obama did not heal America. He systematically re-opened every wound, poured salt in them, and then lit the country on fire for his own political gain. He was not a uniter; he was the Race-Baiter-in-Chief.
This is not an opinion. It is a diagnosis based on his own words and the trail of devastation he left behind.
This thread is the historical corrective to the myth.🧵
Today, we must set the historical record straight. The Left has built a hagiography around Barack Obama, portraying him as a racial healer. The facts—the crime stats, the riots, the polls—tell a much darker story of a man who used racial division as his primary political weapon.
The mask first slipped in 2009 with the Henry Louis Gates incident. Before all the facts were in, Obama rushed to a national microphone and declared that the Cambridge police had "acted stupidly." With those three words, he sent a clear signal to the nation: the President of the United States would side with the narrative over the rule of law.
Then came Trayvon Martin in 2012. Instead of letting the justice system work, Obama inserted himself directly, declaring, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." He deliberately personalized and racialized a local tragedy, transforming a self-defense case into a national referendum on race and birthing the divisive BLM movement in the process.
The Ferguson fiasco of 2014 was his masterpiece of division. His administration amplified the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" lie, a complete fabrication that was later debunked by his own DOJ. But the truth didn't matter. The lie had served its purpose: to ignite a firestorm of anti-police rage that led directly to the "Ferguson Effect."
The "Ferguson Effect" was the bloody consequence of his race-baiting. As police backed off from proactive policing for fear of being crucified by the media and the DOJ, crime skyrocketed. Homicides surged 11% in 2015, the largest single-year increase in decades. This is the real-world price of the Left's lies.
In Baltimore, after the death of Freddie Gray, Obama again legitimized the mob, saying he could "understand their frustration" as the city burned. His DOJ then launched a political witch hunt against the officers involved, all of whom were later acquitted or had their charges dropped. The message was clear: appease the rioters, persecute the police.
This relentless anti-police rhetoric had its inevitable, bloody conclusion. In 2016, five Dallas police officers were assassinated by a racist killer who was radicalized by the very BLM movement Obama had championed. Ambush attacks on police surged 167% from 2015-2016. Obama's words were the wind in the sails of a domestic terror movement.
Let's look at the hard numbers the media ignores. From 2014-2016, homicides jumped by 20%. And while the Left screams about "white supremacy," DOJ statistics consistently show that Black offenders are disproportionately responsible for interracial violent crime. Obama's policies exacerbated, not healed, this tragic reality.
Remember the "Beer Summit"? After his inflammatory "acted stupidly" comment, Obama hosted a pathetic PR stunt at the White House to "heal" the division he had personally created. It was a perfect microcosm of his entire presidency: start a racial fire, then offer a thimble of water and demand praise for being a fireman.
His DOJ systematically waged war on police departments through "disparate impact" lawsuits. They didn't have to prove racism; they just used statistics to declare entire departments racist, forcing them into crippling consent decrees. This was a deliberate strategy to demoralize and de-fang law enforcement nationwide.
His own words reveal his divisive worldview. From dismissing his own grandmother as a "typical White person" who was afraid of black men, to his Selma speech that painted America as a nation still defined by brutal racism, he consistently chose the path of division over unity.
He was enabled by his Praetorian Guard in the media. Outlets like CNN and MSNBC amplified his every racially charged statement, turning local incidents into national crises and creating a permanent echo chamber of grievance. They were not reporters; they were willing accomplices in his project of division.
The American people saw the truth. The polls don't lie. In 2009, 61% of Black Americans approved of race relations. By the end of his term, that number had plummeted to 34%. Even a CNN poll found 54% of all Americans said race relations had worsened on his watch. He was a divider, and the people knew it.
His legacy is not one of hope and change. It is a legacy of division, of riots, of a resurgent racial spoils system, and of dead police officers. He inherited a nation where race relations were steadily improving, and he left it a cauldron of suspicion and resentment.
The modern racial strife that plagues our nation was not an accident. It was a project, designed and executed by the Race-Baiter-in-Chief, Barack Obama. It is time to tear down the myth and tell the truth. America can only heal when we honestly confront the source of the poison.
