I swear, having a Black president literally made America go insane.

When I think about how utterly wiiiiild everything is, I think, Hm, what was the catalyst? What was the thing that made half this country go completely bonkers?

Barack Obama.

For EIGHT years, America experienced cognitive dissonance. The world it knew seemed to be on the brink of whatever the hell this was. New knowledge was dropping, making half this country uncomfortable. A Black family moved into the neighborhood. Black Twitter became a thing. People were learning about daps. Cops weren't your friend. Karens were suddenly visible in the wild.

(I mean, Black folks always been knew about Karen. We
just called her Miss Sally.)

And after those 8 years, America breathed a raggedy sigh of relief and basically did a wilding. They got to' up from the flo' up.

And it's all because they couldn't deal with a Black president.

@DeliaChristina one of the rare moments where white folks improved upon something, Karen is catchier 😂

@DeliaChristina Crazy racist people insisted Barack was a wild dangerous Black urban radical from Kenya. He is literally a mild, thoughtful, polite local boogie boarder from Hawai'i who went to a prep school and Harvard.
Biden is more radical than Barack.

@DeliaChristina The are so racist that they would hand the country over to Putin just to be absolutely certain that there could never ever ever ever again be a Black President.😒

@DeliaChristina Yep, the cheese slid off the cracker with some white Republicans, and even some former white Democrats with Obama.

@icastico @DeliaChristina yea when Hilary won the primary my husband was like, “no way are they letting a woman run things right after a Black man.”

Hate when the cynic in the relationship is right.

@DeliaChristina You knew things were nuts when people on the right kept acting like Obama was some sort of radical. 🙄

It was literally like they kept running that scene in their heads from Blazing Saddles when the Black sheriff shows up and says 'Where the white women at?!' (god i love that scene)

That's what they were expecting from BO.
