    They need to be deported. We should be homogenous.

    Exactly correct...good for you. Now you and maybe others realize that claiming there is a war on Christmas really does sound over the top absurd

    Ignore the Black/White... and the answer is, probably BOTH;

    If you kill a bunch of people, your mentally ill, AND your a thug who should be put down.

    Title of the OP reads, "What is the best way to deal with racial divisionist?".

    Plain and Simple, the Democratic Party loves the concept of "Social Justice", Affirmative Action, and Government Institutionalized Racial Differential Treatment.

    The Republican Party has always maintained the goals of a Race-Neutral society based on Merit.

    Well, if you want "Race" to diminish and go away, then the Democrats need to diminish and go away.

    Vote for who ever will defeat the Democrat... Problem solved!

    None of the other people/entities belong in a list with someone who committed murder. Also, the President is not a 'divisionist'. Overall, I don't agree with your premises.

    This is absurd. He isn't a scapegoat. He willfully injected himself into the Trayvon Martin - Zimmerman case without knowing any of the facts. And virtually compelled a show trial by sicking his AG on a small town in Florida. Fortunately the jury refused to convict a man in what was an open and shut case of self defense. It was a case so weak that under normal circumstances no DA would have brought it without outside pressure. The whole false narrative that cops are running around looking for black people to kill is almost entirely a product of this president's embracing of Al Sharpton and his anticop rhetoric. Obama's skin color has nothing to do with this. His behavior does. your own willingness to accept reality as it is rather than as you wish it to be is your issue.

    I think that Obama is the best thing that's happened to race relations in the U.S. since civil rights.
    He's forced all the racism out in the open and we are having to confront it and deal with it.
    The country will be better for it.

    To cut down racial division, the best thing to do is to ban Obama, Sharpton, and Jackson from TV.

    You realize Zimmerman has been arrested like 3 times since the trial for domestic violence and assault, right? Did you read about the one where the cops showed up at his house because he had been beating his girlfriend yet again and she called in when he threatened to shoot her? When the cops showed up at his house, he had 5 firearms on his person, including 2 assault rifles. That's how he answered the door when the police came- carrying 5 guns.

    The dude is a murderous maniac and it is an obvious miscarriage of justice that he is not in prison for the rest of his life yet. It is just a matter of time until he kills again.

    Obama didn't willfully inject himself anywhere. People were demanding that he say something about the incident. It was national news with gestures coming through sports, entertainment, news, and other venues. "Sicking" the AG on a small town was an attempt to help calm things down. Also, do you have a source of Obama embracing Sharpton's anticop rhetoric? Not saying he didn't embrace any of the rhetoric, but people seem to make up stuff then run with it at 1000 miles per hour.

    Obama sneezed, therefore he's racially divisive.

    You combine races. Make sure your offspring is mixed and racism will disappear.

    show me one quote where anyone asked this president to say anything about the Trayvon Martin Case. Give me one quote where anyone asked him to say something about the Darrin Wilson case. Give me one quote where anyone asked him to say anything about the Gates case. There was no reason in any of those cases for him to say a damn thing and given what he did say the country would have been better off if he'd just shut up and left well enough alone. Obama helped create the false 'hands up don't shoot' narrative.

    You realize he has killed no a single soul since then and that those incidents such as they are don't say a damn thing about the Trayvon case in which the forensic evidence was on his side?

    So what exactly is this white American supposed to want for white people that he wouldn't want for non-white people?

    Absolutely NOTHING!

    All a White Male, who is in 2015, constantly discriminated against by his Government, Corporations, Schools and Society, really wants, is to be treated exactly the same, without any regard to his race or gender, as everyone else!

    Do you finally see my point!?

    The really amazing thing about True Equality,... it works really well every damn time it is tried!

    Then I have no idea what it's supposed to mean for white Americans to vote their racial interests.

    If a white person and a black person apply for the same job with the same resume, the white person is 2.4 times more likely to get an interview. You can't ever exactly know what it feels like to be discriminated against like that, but you can actually get pretty close. It turns out that white job applicants with a recent felony on their records still get more interviews than black people without a record, but much closer. So, if you want to experience the treatment black people get, one way you could try it out would be from now on, whenever you apply for a job, erase 18 months of your job experience from the past 3 years or so and write in that you spend those 18 months in prison for a felony. That'd get you a pretty close approximation of the treatment black people get when looking for jobs. How about, try that one first for a while, and if you really want to get the treatment black people get more generally, we can see if we can come up with ways you might approximate the experience in other areas of your life as well.

    Ok, here are some samples:


    On the Trayvon Martin case, Boyce Watkins, a Syracuse University professor stated,
    “I would personally be disappointed if the first black president didn’t speak on an issue that has affected so many people so much. Trayvon’s death is quickly becoming a national tragedy. But even in spite of the fact that this case is so clear-cut to so many people, it still draws a line..."

    On the Darren Wilson case, Cornel West stated,
    "The Obama administration has been silent. Completely silent. All of a sudden now, you get this uprising and what is the response? Well, as we know, you send out a statement on the death of brother Robin Williams before you sent out a statement on brother Michael Brown."

    On the Henry Gates case, a reporter at a press conference asks,
    "Thank you, Mr. President. Recently, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was arrested at his home in Cambridge. What does that incident say to you? And what does it say about race relations in America?"

    The part I bolded is something I can't measure, so I have no response for it. I disagree with your last claim that Obama helped create the 'hands up don't shoot' narrative because that was started by protesters and carried by social media.

    Let's see you've got a university professor who appears to have wanted try Mr. Zimmerman in the court of public opinion evidence be damned, Cornel West, a know racist and agent provocateur, who were he Caucasian and said similar things about African-Americans that he has said about Caucasians would have long ago been fired. And then you've got a reporter that was provided a question to ask by the presidents handlers. Nice collection.

    Now let's examine each of these cases. One of Mr. Gates neighbors saw someone apparently breaking into Mr. Gates' home and called the campus police who responded promptly to defend Mr. Gates domicile from potential robbery. As it turns out it was Mr. Gates breaking into his own home because he'd locked himself out. The cop asked Mr. Gates as he would have asked any other human being regardless of race creed or color for some ID where upon Mr. Gates went nuts. Please note Dr. Gates is also a racist hack sharing many of the same sentiments as his contemprary Dr. West. Further note, I've been in Dr. West's position in this matter twice myself in two different cities no less. I was arrested neither time because I showed the ID as I was asked showing further that I lived in the home I was trying to enter. In both cases after showing them my ID the cops apologized and one of them gave me a much need boost to get me through the window of my house. Dr. Gates was arrested for acting like a braying jackass as much as anything else. If he'd just shown the cop some ID he wouldn't have been arrested and both could have gone about their business without further aggravation. Obama's take was to (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) about the lack of professionalism on the part of the officer, who, in fact, acted with utmost professionalism while the good doctor acted like a jackass.

    In the two other cases two African American males were shot dead while in the process of assaulting two other men, one a police officer. Rather than hold his commentary until the evidence was in Our wondrous president apparently believing himself to be omniscient attempted to pronounce sentence before the case was even tried. And the jury in both cases essentially told him to screw himself never mind the intense pressure they were under to return a guilty plea against two people who had acted in every way in self defense and defense of their communities.

    Hmmmmmm....................let me provide quotes from some other sources.

    Asked about the Martin killing, (R) Colin Powell states,
    “I think that it will be seen as a questionable judgment on the part of the judicial system down there, but I don’t know if it will have staying power. These cases come along and they blaze across the midnight sky and then after a period of time, they’re forgotten. That doesn’t mean Obama should keep silent, though. I’d like to see him be more passionate about race questions.”

    Former President, (R) George W. Bush, chimes,
    “I had dinner with Condi [former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice] the other night and we talked about this subject, and she just said, ‘You know, you just gotta understand, there are lots of black folks that are incredibly, more and more, distrusting of law enforcement. Which is a shame, because law enforcement’s job is to protect everybody.”

    These guys added on too *shrug*. But...no one is saying that these guys are racial divisionist, so how is Obama the #1 divider?

    OP consider revising your list, I'm not seeing Obama as the #1 divider. No reasonable examples given yet

    You should consider the fact that they said very different things.

    They are different. None are inflammatory though.

    I would like to add that as I was searching for quotes, many Republican - leaning blogs and news turned up amongst the results. Not only do they share many of the same unsubstantiated claims in this thread, but those sources flame and race-bait like there's no tomorrow. The OP should consider replacing #1 with Conservative media.
