You blatantly claimed that Trump rose because of white nationalism. Obama was elected in large part due to blacks voting in record numbers. you don't think those are germane?


Black Nationalists didn't even LIKE Obama because he wasn't racially radical enough for their liking. Cornel West & Tavis Smiley HATED him because he didn't trot himself out as a "black" president that sought to hammer white people.

that's not a universally true statement though. there are plenty of black nationalist (jeremiah wright) that were full on board for him. i totally agree he wasn't "black enough" for some of the movement, but to think he didn't have a vein of support from that group is purely asinine.
