During the period where the US, or what would become the US, had slavery there was also indentured servants-slavery for 14 years and the apprentice system-slavery for 7 years. There were no protections. You could and many did abuse indentured servants and apprentices.
Racial conflict in our country is truly sad. Sadly, while I did not vote for him, OBAMA was granted a unique opportunity to make things better. Instead he chose to fan sparks of racial conflict into forest fires. I TRULY WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD TO ADMIT I WAS WRONG NOT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA. SADLY, WHAT I SAW THAT MADE ME DECIDE NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM WAS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG THAT HE IN SPITE OR HIS GREAT SKILL WAS UNABLE TO HIDE.

Pure bull$hit.
Obama didn't make racism worse, he simply brought it out into the open...by pointing out when it occurred.
All too many closet racists wanted to pretend that racism doesn't still exist to a great degree and were content to just let it stay in the closet, but Obama had the audacity and courage...to call it out when it occurred.
And now those same closet racists want to blame him for
"making it worse," when just the fact that a big part of Chump's populism is based on his racism/bigotry...PROVES that Obama did the right thing.
So go ahead and try to blame it on Obama, but intelligent and non racist/bigoted decent people...know the real truth.
