It's also fair to say that race-based hate-groups can be laid squarely at the feet of Obama's win, Obama himself and an inflammatory media that sought conflagration of racial divide where it could.

Remember that Obama's win was analyzed through demographics above all else, and that the impact of his win on the living standards of African-Americans came to the forefront repeatedly. Distaste of Obama was placed squarely on racism. And then, when racial tensions did break out, the President was portrayed as anti-cop, pro-BLM and sympathetic to protestors.

The moment Trump was associated with the alt-right by the media, America's hopes at unity were demolished.
