Obama ran and won the presidency twice because of his successful appeal to the black people to engage in race based voting. Michelle and Barack as well as prominent black politicians and agitators fostered the idea that you should vote for a candidate because of race and race alone. Obama was to be “the first black president.” Millions of black voters were told to vote for him because of his black race. They ignorantly and happily complied.
It was wrong for him to expect people he persuaded to make race the central factor to stop doing so when a white woman was the candidate. Hillary wasn’t black but Barack had persuaded black people that race is the over-riding factor so his first message was so well learned that it worked against Hillary. Black people stayed home. they had no candidate to vote for because Barack and Michelle and many other prominalt black peole made being black so inportant that the black voters looked around, found no black candidate so they didn’t vote.
It’s not ironic that Barack helped Trump win because Barack took the black voters out of the election. It’s exactely how race based politics works,….. and it’s why most people detest it.
