The examples are particular to each person. He was too smug. He fist-bumped the first lady. He played basketball too much. He showed empathy for Trayvon Martin. He urged black Americans, who statistically vote less than other groups, to vote. He talked about racial equality and discrimination from the perspective of a man who has experienced it first hand.
He made white Americans confront the reality of listening to a leader who didn't look like them and didn't share their experience for the first time in the history of this country,
Now knowing how uncomfortable and unappreciated that made them feel they should have some empathy for black Americans, who have been confronted with that reality for 200+ years.

He was president and didn't apologize for being black. Because largely of anger toward him, we now have Trump.

Are you kidding me? Every time an incident involving a black person happened, he would side with the black person and assume the worse in whites
Saying things like "if I had a son he would look like trayvon" is but one example. A president should be neutral.

He sided AGAINST the police only days after every Black shooting issue before hearing the evidence.

The GOP blames their racism on the fact that Obama is non-White.
Of course their racism was always there - it was just in the shadows until the orange bastard came along.

That's because it did not happen.
