When Obama won his historic victory in 2008 and all races came together, held hands and sang kumbaya, how many people suspected that 12 years later VP qualifications would be based on race/gender and being a white male would become a liability.
You're right about that. I should have said, what a disappointment he was. I remember that election night feeling proud to be an american because of how we were able to display and prove to the world we have moved past racism. He had such a golden opportunity to unite us. But that was never his intention.
Now they do nothing but call us racist. They'll be calling for genocide if this trajectory remains uncontested.
