I really don't think he had much to do with it.
His presidency came just as social media exploded and online political movements started to boom. The 24 hour news cycle got increasingly worse during this period and began to involve aforementioned social media. The widening access of opinion simply made public things people had been thinking for years but didn't get a ton of exposure for. Merge this with modern "pls give me a news story I don't care what it is" media that lacks journalistic integrity and you get a sharp political divide that's more public than ever. Any race-involved statements made by any president will cause a shitstorm now because some insane opinion will become widely known due to social media/news media and a substanceless debate will spark around it leaving everybody bitter and angry. obama was pretty spineless and a pretty incompetent president overall but I don't think it's a coincidence that political opinions and the venom surrounding them progressively went off the rails the more facebook/twitter got popular --- Enjoy movies and television?

Be a black guy and comment in favor of Trayvon over Zimmerman. But really, just being black was enough.

The beer summit, caused by his own stupid comments.
Applied political pressure to Florida sending an innocent Latino to trial for an imaginary murder because the victim happened to be black. Supported the 'hands up don't shoot' lie. Financed BLM. Blamed cops for BLM supporters killing cops. Twice. After record flooding in Louisiana, visited the family of a black man who was also a child rapist who was shot by police in self-defense, ignoring people who lost everything. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen ...

Obama gave clout into the thought that there is a problem with police in America. Spoiler: there isn't. When you attack a cop like Mike Brown did, you may end up getting shot. Obama took the side of 'the suspect NEVER did anything wrong AT ALL". In reality, the suspect did do something, and paid the ultimate price for it.

Him being Black (yes, I know he's half Black) pissed a lot of people off across the country.
It was quiet till, as you said, social media started giving everybody a voice. So people came out and spoke and people countered. The current climate is essentially people coming out of their bubbles and being shocked not everyone shares the same views. We were pretty isolated as people prior to the internet and social media. People stuck in their community bubbles. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it? Everything you are, gone in a moment, like breath on a mirror. - The Doctor ... Copied to Clipboard!

it all started with the white cop and black professor and he said he thought what the cops did was stupid, then he invited both of them to have some beers at the white house. thats what started it all and how the president shouldnt be making comments on cases like that without knowing the whole story.
