I think there are way more pro-trump thread on ATS however I would say that I think the anti-trump threads tend to get a bit more traction and attention.
Are you feeling ok??

So Obama should probably apologize and pay some reparations. What a giant stain the Obama Presidency was on our country’s history.

My ancestors were slave owners also. Not all that uncommon.
Was just thinking that. If anyone has ties to the southern states that go back pre-emancipation it's most likely your family had slaves. Or were paid workers who worked along side slaves.

Obama never embraced his white half...instead he hated and hates it...it's a shame...

I imagine a lot of people in the US have slave owner ancestors. Doesn't surprise me.

I kinda don't blame him. She abandoned him so she could do her anthropology thing, left him with her parents to raise and rarely saw him. She went to the same school of anthropology I did. I could have dated her kid sister and I knew a lot of the same people, including her professors. His father, Obama, Sr., who also abandoned him, may not have been his father at all. I believe it was all part of the fiction. I think it is clear Obama was placed into the presidency on purpose, but you can't deny the fact that he got there and he wasn't the first. Given his background it's a pretty amazing life.
There was no setting back of race relations. A bunch of wingnuts lost their collective # when a non-white with a non-European name was elected President.
