Republicans are successfully blowing every racist dog whistle available to play on white fears. Law and order being at the top. Not to mention that Black Lives Matter has created a whole new level of turmoil for white people. I'm not sure why it's so hard to believe that we're still a very racist nation. Obama didn't change that as much as he exposed it.
