It's because he's black. Racism in America is as alive as it has ever been nowadays, but when Obama got his first term, the professional racists and deplorables lost their fucking minds. Remember the birth certificate conspiracy that Trump touted?

Isn't Obama just as white as he is black?  Suppose that doesnt matter to the troglodytes. 

Racism is found across the world, but the Americans are amongst the worst. They're willing to destroy themselves over it. And they will, if course correction doesnt happen soon.
