    I know that bullshit appeals to other trolls… but isn’t open racism actually counterproductive at this point? Most voters alive today never knew a world where interracial marriage was illegal - and most of us grew up in public schools being exposed to a wide variety of cultures.

      You might have been around when Obama ran for president. Yes it was an issue, including after he was elected. Long form birth certificate anyone?

          I distinctly remember people holding signs of Obama’s face pasted on the body of a chimpanzee. Another honorary mention from the campaign was the slogan “keep the white house white”.

          The racism was so fucking blatant and Republicans expect us to pretend it never happened.
