Young Obama Voter Says Race Relations Worse After 8 Years Of America’s First Black President

Sadly, America’s race relations are worse off under President Barack Obama, our first black president, says a passionate black graduate student who voted for him twice.

She blames Obama’s eight years of divisive governance spawning dangerous narratives of hate, not President-elect Donald Trump who is wrongly labeled by elites as divisive, even before taking office. Antonia Okafor rose to prominence because of her recent NRA ad, “I Didn’t Listen.”

In this exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation, she says she voted for Obama believing the false and dominant narrative being peddled through the black community that “just because he looks like me, he is best for me.” She then realized that “his policies are harming me, not helping me.” Now, she votes for policies, not the person. She casts herself as a black conservative and is optimistic about Trump’s policies.

The Trump victory, she thinks, was a broad cross-section of Americans of all races saying “enough” to the false narratives and overused labels being thrown at political opponents. As for the labels being thrown at GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Okafor says they only remind her of the disturbing and ridiculous labels given to her, like “racist, misogynist and sexist” or “deplorable” for voting for Trump.

Soros' plan, following Alinsky doctrine, is to divide citizens by touting social inequality. Obama not only drank the Koolaid, he swam in it. Obama could not exploit minorities social inequality unless he showed them that they were repressed. He did that every chance he got. He constantly told Americans that whites were privileged, business owners were evil, Wall Street and big banks were against us, etc. "You didn't build your business, government built it". His mantra was letting everyone know that government was the answer to all social woes. Obamacare was the pinnacle of that mantra by taking over health care. Now, by GOP dismantling of his signature bill, it's one more example of how the privileged white class is against minorities. In that, he created a much larger racial divide. Glad to see there are smart young minorities figuring it out.

If people are united the government has less power.

Lets get it right, young Obama voters. Obama is half black, half white.

Another minority has seen the light. The American voters are tired of the "false narratives and overused labels" by politicians and proved it in their support for the outsider Trump.

Obama made race relations in the US mount to a high level the entire time. He made it worse. He also made it worse for police. Can't wait for him to get out of the White House.
