Yeah, Trump and the rise of these hate groups is the dear price we've had to pay for having had a black president. I was working in the American South during the Obama administration and I honestly did not meet many white, working class males who were happy about his presidency and they oft times expressed their discontent with racial epithets (for which I punished a few of them, I support first amendment rights but you did not use the n-word on my jobs). I think Joe misspoke when he wrote "I guess one could blame Obama for giving new life to right-wing extremism.", at least I hope he did. Obama's only part in it was his blackness.
