Obama talked about human rights and the oppressed. He then went on a war/bombing/drone/genocide spree on muslims and non-whites in more than 7 new countries ranging from Libya, Yemen (see his memoirs for the justifications on killing children), South Sudan, Somalia.... In addition, he embraced alleged anti-muslim leaders like Ang Syu Kyi (Nobel Peace prize winner) and Narendra Modi. His genocides, actions and killings of non-whites and muslims are considered to be the hallmark of American liberal democracy and Nobel Peace prize material. Trump the white oppressor failed to bomb one NEW muslim and non-white country. So how would the author address this “anomaly”?

Trump is self-interested and lazy. He found no benefit to his objectives of being forever President in bombing a 'NEW' foreign country. This is why he spent so much of his time focused on combating internal enemies. This combat was just as racist as any action of American foreign policy conducted under Obama.

  >This combat was just as racist as any action of American foreign policy conducted under Obama. Really? What did this "combat" resulted to in actual terms (mean tweets aside)? Because even for immigrant deporatations at Mexican borders, Obama had a much larger number of such. Same for police shootings. I also like the hypocrisy and gal of playing actual bombings and murder of peoples and destruction of countries the same as the toil (and what toil exactly? in what numbers? with what impact?) of "internal enemies".

    Hypothetically, Trumps administration could be biased and target deportation of dark skinned Mexicans only while Obamas administration was competent and neutral in its enforcement for the law. This would lead to a case where the racist policy resulted in less deportations but a more humiliating and unfair treatment of deportees. Remember the goal is not to deport fewer people, but rather to be fair minded. A similar comparison can be made to racist cops who arrest black criminals. The issue isn't that they arrest criminals, but that they choose their targets by race alone.
