The Triumphs of a Black President In a White America

The protagonist in this book is President Barack Obama. The antagonist is White America. Unlike many contemporary works of literature on race relations and politics, this book shuns the myopic views embedded in the ideological leanings of the right and left political spectrum. It underlines the disquietude of a wary White America that viewed a black presidency as a risky experiment. It explains how Republicans fiercely and relentlessly opposed Barack Obama and contemptuously plotted the downfall of his administration unsuccessfully. The book discusses the unique relationship of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, compares both personalities and underscores the social anxiety that propelled the election of Donald Trump to succeed Barack Obama. It also answers the question that many Americans have asked: Is President Donald Trump a racist?

Here are some other intriguing excerpts from the book:

"It is no secret that the United States has never been an "honest broker" when it comes to the actions of the Israeli government in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

"In rather negative terms, the "red line" syndrome in Syria had indelibly marked President Obama's foreign policy in the eyes of the world ..."

"The fact is that more whites have enrolled in Obamacare than blacks and Latinos put together."

"The irrational invasion of Iraq and subsequent dismantling of its once-formidable military by the United States shifted the military dynamic in the area."

"In 2016, gun lobbyists gave $5,900,000 to Republicans and $106,000 to Democrats during the election cycle."
