Ohio Trump Chair Lady So Sad Obama Had To Go And Invent Racism

Kathy Miller, the chair of the Mahoning County branch of the Trump campaign, is very annoyed at Barack Obama, our first black president, for inventing racism.
In an interview with The Guardian, Miller explains that she never heard a DAMN THING about this "racism" stuff existing before he was president, including in the 1960s. Regarding the 1960s, she says "Growing up as a kid, there was no racism, believe me. We were just all kids going to school."
When asked about the Civil Rights Movement, which was occurring at that time, Miller stated “I never experienced it. I never saw that as anything.” Which, let's just say it, is a rather impressive feat. To go through the 1960s and somehow never hear a peep about racism existing? Was Youngstown, Ohio, perhaps, some Shangri-la type oasis from the racial tensions of that era? I feel like it was not! In fact, it took me all of two seconds to find that during the 1960s, Youngstown had segregated pools and did not allow black people to sit in the balcony in movie theaters. Though perhaps it simply did not occur to Miller that this might have appeared racist to the kids she was just "going to school" with. If it didn't bother her, why should it bother them?
Miller then explained how all this racism stuff was definitely Obama's fault.
“I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this ... Now, with the people with the guns, and shooting up neighborhoods, and not being responsible citizens, that’s a big change, and I think that’s the philosophy that Obama has perpetuated on America.”
For what it's worth, violent crime has actually been on a steady decline since its peak in the late '80s and early '90s. The murder rate has also declined. Whoops.
