If this isn't stirring racial unrest at a critical time nothing is.

PS: Calling someone a troll is a personal attack. Well, it would be if you were a conservative and I a liberal.

It would be an insult to both our intelligence to cite examples but I could start along the lines of class warfare. Google “liberal class warfare”. There are too many hits to post all the links here.
It’s hardly a secret that the left openly despises prosperity unless it's one of their own.

It isn't a personal attack if it is true. In fact, that you are trolling is the nicest interpretation I can draw.
If I’m a troll it’s only because you can’t come up with anything worthwhile in a debate with me. This little cartoon comes to mind. Just substitute the word douchebag at the end with troll and I think I’ve summed up your frustrations.

POTUS was merely speaking a truth as a black man in this country which still can't get over its routine racism.
Yes, well he should have been speaking as The President of the United States trying to keep a nation at least as unified as possible and not as an angry black man fanning the flames of dissent. There is supposed to be some dignity and decorum to the office.

No, liberals don't hate the rich. They only champion the interests of those without.
And as far as flaming the fans of racism are concerned - how is acknowledging the reality of racism fanning it to life? Unlike conservatives, liberals don't sweep racism under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist. If anything, it's conservatives who fan the flames of racism by publicly expressing a lack of empathy for blacks and other minority citizens.
