It felt like it was uncool to have even a touch of racism when Obama got elected and through his presidency. But since the MAGA movement, I feel like subtle and out-right racism has increased. Like a gateway was opened.

Am I trippin?

      Holy crap haha. No, I either forgot or dont remember and had to look it up. Man, they didn’t even wait for the man to get in office before selling racist memorabilia.

        YUP it was really bad, and then half the country turned extra racist, the other half pretended racism was solved because we had a black president.

          I have had the misfortune of reading comments from dimwits writing that racism was ended but Obama brought it back. Really pleased to be off of reddit now.
