Or "racism," as it used to be known.

I've heard about one study along these lines, but this is a great summary of numerous studies that I'm gonna have to track down. But I'm not surprised frankly. I never understood the vituperative hatred towards Obama, and the usual litany of complaints against him--to me--sound like a long-winded disguise that masks the basic sentiment that some folks don't like a black man as president. The capacity for forming "Us versus Them" (black/white, male/female, Republican/Democrat, etc.) fall on razor thin margins; this has been known via experiments since the 60s, but only recently also been traced within our brain and fueled by hormones such as oxytocin and dopamine. Trump, like other demagogues through history (even if they were unaware of the neurological mechanisms), simply exploited these divisions. It is not an orginal statement to say he offers nothing useful or uniting.
