has totally fucking destroyed and, in fact, surpassed the potential for his Presidency to be a step towards color blindness in our society. It is truly a damn shame.

I was very happy as I I watch Ms. Rye explain how Trump talks shit all day long and how certain segments of society think they ALLOW the President to say or do certain things. In Professor Gates home the cops acted STUPIDLY.

The arrogance of right-wingers to think the successful election of Obama ABOVE THEIR LOUDEST PROTESTS is because they ALLOWED it shows their ignorance.
They didn't allow it, they fought against it. It's the remarks of a five-year old covering for a mistake by saying "I meant to do that."
