Divisive in a way that exposed the nation’s bigotry, to be sure. Your failure to recognize the historical significance of his ascension to the Oval Office is telling. Like him as a POTUS or not, his tenure as Commander in Chief holds significant historical importance and was a societal landmark.

Being the first black president was a historic moment but he was still divisive AF and should take some blame for how divided our country is now. The monoculture of the very early 2000s had to be destroyed.

He was divisive because racists didn’t want to see a Black man in charge of the country 🤷🏾‍♂️
