America hasn't gone backwards because America never completed the move FORWARD. trump isn't a cause, trump isn't even a symptom. trump is the logical result of the continued racism that permeates every system IN this country, AND, trump is backlash against the audacity of the American people choosing to elect a Black president not once, but TWICE.

If you might notice that history's great speakers didn't have to read from a teleprompter or didn't give speeches (especially eulogies) in a phony black preacher tone of voice. Saying Obama is a good speaker is setting a very low bar. He doesn't speak. He reads. And the speeches are written for him based on not words from anyone's heart but from the results of focus groups. He is just reading what the focus groups tell his writers people want to hear. When Obama speaks naturally and doesn't read, he sounds like an elitist Harvard college professor scolding his class. He talks down to people. Those speeches are irritating and border on being insulting. Obama's 'eulogy' was nothing more than a hateful partisan political speech given in a phony black preacher tone of voice. John Lewis would have been insulted and deserved better than have his memorial used as an opportunity to take some cheap shots at political opponents. Joe Biden gave better eulogies for his racist friends that were former KKK members.

Had 7 million more people on welfare, bypassed Congress and used judges to pass his agenda, highest unemployment rate for all people especially for black America, historic manufacturing job losses, give immunity to his attorney general and engaged in the sales of guns , rocket launchers to cartels by the thousand and those guns killed innocent Americans, advised his head of IRS to illegally DOX millions of conservatives attacking them through federal punishments just for donated to campaign besides his, covered up four lying Hillary and Benghazi... illegally spied on US citizen Donald Trump before he was president.

[@jammiegolson7171]

@@haydensmith6692 Based on the content of your post, you have spent some time (perhaps too much) in the sunken place of right wing propaganda. If that is the case, rational thought and facts hold little value. No matter, I will only address the point of black unemployment. In addition, provide source material. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I believe you meant to say President Obama inherited historically high unemployment for black Americans. Perhaps you are too young to remember the Great Recession? In 2009 the unemployment rate for black Americans was at 12.7% and rising to a high of 16.8% in 2010. When he left office the rate was 7.5%.
