I'm not sure the racists are really bolder, but that is the impression you get when people go out of their way to document their evil. Again, the media and the Social (Media) Justice Warriors are manipulating the narrative. When President Obama was elected, people would tell me that black people would go out of their way to be nasty because they were emboldened by the election. Most likely the black people who were acting this way were jerks before the election, but nobody noticed before.
