Nah, the racists just got very, very #triggered by having a black man in office. Obama was grace under pressure and bent over backwards (too much if you ask some) to his opposition.



But racism is fundamentally rooted in stupid, and it's very hard to fix stupid. Even having a black president wasn't going to change the dark hearts and befuddled minds of the right wingers that loathe someone like him for his skin color, and hate him all the more for his skill, his intelligence, and his success.
