Barack Obama is not just an opponent. He is a role model for tens of millions of African-Americans. Whether or not they vote for him, at some level all Americans -- except for a racist few -- are rooting that it will be possible for a presidential candidate to cross the color barrier.

so does this statement mean that you're a racist if you don't vote for him in the primary or general? and if the dems vote for him in the primary, are they sexist for not voting for hillary?? oh the possibilities..

An enormous reservoir of hypocrisy is building up for the Democrats. A crisis of conscience looms. Hillary and company have no conscience, but they pretend, and the libs seem to believe them; or rather, they want to believe them.

... except for a racist few ...

Obama cherished every cause for complaint he can discern against white folks. He is constantly distressed at being half-white. Obama says he “ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites,”

When his grandmother wants a ride to work because the day before, while awaiting the bus, she was threatened by a black panhandler, he is outraged—at his grandparents.

Later, when he moves to the South Side of Chicago in 1984, he eventually discovers that, like his grandmother, he’s sometimes scared of black males on the street, too.

In the period from high school in Hawaii, to Columbia University and then to the streets of Chicago as a community organizer, Obama is the classic angry young black man, describing his world thusly: "We were always playing on the white man's court -- by the white man's rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn't. The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage."

Obama’s once described the white race as “that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.” “That hate hadn't gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other "half-breeds" who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks.  And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around.  He later married a black woman.

Obama  describes his grandparents, the people who raised him, as "white folk."

Thank God, we all know that black people can't be racist?
