Obama: Trump’s ‘Tapping into America’s Dark History of Racial, Ethnic, and Religious Division’

‘Appealing to tribe, appealing to fear, appealing to one group against another’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: "And even though your generation is the most diverse in history with a greater acceptance and celebration of differences than ever before, those are the kinds of conditions that are ripe for exploitation by politicians who have no compunction and no shame about tapping into America’s dark history of racial, and ethnic and religious division. Appealing to tribe, appealing to fear, appealing to one group against another, telling people that order and security will be restored if it weren’t for those who don’t look like us or don’t sound like us or don’t pray like we do, that’s an old playbook. It’s as old as time. And in a healthy democracy, it doesn’t work."
