RE If Barack Obama’s election has had little or no impact on improving racial politics or changing the sense that blacks must be viewed as a special political class, what exactly, practically, has it meant?
Rather than making things better, it has really made matters worse.
From the perspective of Democrat voting blacks, the implications of a black president was not a more racially just America. It was about assuming there would be a man in the White House more prepared to sign off on special political treatment for blacks. To the extent this has not happened, there has been dissatisfaction.
From the perspective of conservatives, tensions have increased because criticism of Obama’s big government liberalism has been spun as racially motivated.
The Obama presidency has not ushered in a new era of racial tranquility because, despite all the hype, it’s not what it has been about. “

It is worse than this. The past few weeks O has given up on convincing independents to vote for him and instead is trying to rev up the Dem base to ‘get out the vote’ by using very racially divisive tactics.

Not only was there the Obama racist ‘vote to get revenge on them’ comment that Chris Matthews called criticism of racism, but I learned from the Chris Hayes show that the O campaign is running radio ads on black talk radio stations blaming criticism of Obama racist and repeating the ‘vote to get revenge’ line to the black listeners.

Obama is finishing up the most divisive 1st term presidency with the most divisive and hateful POTUS re-election campaign of all time intended to Balkan-ize the country, and it is largely unnoticed by those it was not intended for.

Getting worse every day.

Don’t forget what is rumored what the Val Gal said : “After We Win This Election, It’s Our Turn. Payback Time.”

We can thank the MSM and CBS, CNN, and ABC News for this kind of crap... if the MSM had done their job this kind of hate would be relegated to the trash bin of history. Obama's starting to come across like a Muslim - one line for the liberal fools, one line for the folks at home to stir up hate...
