I never said it was impossible, just that one subset of the voting population was likely larger than another. Obama getting elected didn’t end racism, it was just a victory in spite of it. Honestly, part of the rise of White Nationalism might even be attributable to his election, making racism worse.
Why is race a topic? Because there’s a bunch of voting idiots who make their choice based on it. If the candidate doesn’t bring other votes with them somehow, it just makes it that much harder.
This. Part of the reason we are in this mess now is that Obama won. The fact that we dare put a black man in the WHITE House, for not 4 but 8 years, broke their tiny little racist brains. They dogged him for every little thing they could, spent 8 years blocking, obstructing, bad faith arguing, and outright refusing to collaborate with a black man.
