Only 27% of Whites see Obama as a “Uniter”

At least we all agree on that.

20. Overall do you think Obama has done more to (unite the country), or has done more to (divide the country)?

Obama’s overall job approval rating, for example, is 87 percent among blacks, 57 percent among Hispanics – and just 31 percent among whites, a single point from his career low. Differences on whether Obama has united or divided the country are at least as sharp: Seventy-eight percent of blacks see Obama as a uniter rather than a divider; that declines to 53 percent of Hispanics and just 27 percent of whites.

How ironic. The very idea of Obama’s unity is as divisive as it could be.

Goodbye Hope and Change.

    Like the citizens of most nations around the world, Americans have a way of uniting in a heartbeat in response to existential threats to the nation as a whole. It will be interesting to see how Americans respond to the threat of ISIS and the Islamic State during the remaining two years of Obama’s presidency.

    So much for ‘Free Country’. Racism does prevail (still) across much of the United States. More funding and awareness-raising be put on media to teach Whites about history of black-people (just like the United States is funding agencies to spread holocaust awareness).

      You mean teach white people they should not feel guilty for the fact blacks were just one of many groups who were enslaved? Or teach people all the original slave trappers and traders off Africa were all Black War Lords? Or teach them eventually many Arabs moved in and took over a part of the profitable business? Or teach them there were NEVER and white Slave Traders off Africa?

      Yes, racism does prevail. Anti-white racism, that is.

      Check out “White Girl Bleed a Lot” to get a real understanding of racism. And the truth is… blacks have far more to fear from other blacks than they have to fear whites or the police. Liberal policy is the problem… not racism. When LBJ started the “War on Poverty” it started the destruction of the black two parent family. We are now reaping the rewards of policy where young males are being raised by gangs instead of men. To be specific… it is white liberal racism prevailing. White liberals have created the cesspools of crime ridden slums (HUD Housing) and the urban centers like Detroit and Chicago where balcks are victimizing blacks. I’ll believe liberals want to fix the problem when liberals stop designing policy to eliminate the two parent family.

      And if you don’t feel free… I’d suggest you move to the Middle East and live under Sharia for a while. Stop whining… get a job… and take responsibility for your life instead of blaming it all on me for not understanding you. Getting an education giving you job skills instead of a “victim studies” degree would be a good start.

    Exactly. Until white support for Obama–or any Dem for the matter of it–drops to single digits, then I must conclude that American whites have a death wish.

  • Bamaguje

    Exactly what do the 87% of Blacks approve of in Obama’s ailing presidency?
    The stagnant economy with high unemployment, the disastrous Obamacare, insecure borders with swarming job-stealing illegal immigrants, Benghazi consulate treachery, Fast & Furious, or Obama’s pro-Islamist foreign policy?

    • MrUniteUs1

      87% of stock market investors, automobile workers, and homeowners should approve of the Obama presidency.

    Hint: ThinkProgress, DailyKOS…
    They’re more numerous than you’d imagine – they have the entire “education” establishment as their incubator.

    As a symbol, maybe. Does equivocation bring people together? Perhaps some times it does.

    I’ll pass.

  • MrUniteUs1

    Is the identification white in itself racist? How do you know if you’re white or not?
    Your skin is not white. If it were you’d probably be locked up in lab somewhere.

    Gray, beige, tan, light brown, albino pink or Boehner orange, maybe but not white.
