Idiots

I think the United States may have well been in a different world in 2008. Social media has changed everything.

Not to mention eight years of race baiting from the Obama administration.

Yep

I've never claimed Obama was a great leader. I think he handled situations involving race very badly. I don't think there were 8 years of it, but there were 4 or 5 incidences where he should've handled with more discipline.

I post to a European message board, very active usually 2-4K members online, this story is already there. They discuss the monuments, rioting, pizzagate you name it.
Only 2 people and myself are from the USA. There is a large Nigerian message board and they post on a lot of American topics, especially Trump, unscientific observation they like him at a 65% clip. Amazing how well informed people are today.

He never missed an opportunity to pander to his base by demonizing white people.

They wanted to control internet memes and jokes? 03-lmfao

My thought exactly.

Good thinking. Make it a "thing" and then wonder why it's a thing.

My gosh they're dumber than even I thought possible.
