Bill: In a sense you're right.. The election of President Obama brought millions of "closeted" racists out into the open.  They simply couldn't remain quiet when a Black man had the audacity to be elected President of the United States... "Can you believe it!!! One of "them" being so uppity as to become President.....doesn't that BOY know his place!!!!!"  There were tens of millions of racist rants directed toward President Obama and his family and websites created to host them.  So yes, it was "divisive" to have our first Black President.....divisive because it exposed the racism which still exists in our country.  "Guilt card"......well, IMO, persons who openly celebrate their white supremacy must not feel particularly guilty about it.  Racism is a moral issue...a learned value.  Today, with the Trump Presidency, we're now seeing it being openly celebrated.  That, to me, is extremely sad.  Doesn't it bother you at least a little bit?  Gary Crum
