I hope so sincerely.

While I disagree vehemently with his politics, I was very hopeful that Obama’s successful run (whether it ended in victory of not-—hopefully, not, from a policy standpoint) would be a wonderful step forward in demonstrating that—at last—the race-baiters are officially over.

Sadly, it seems he is going to entrench the hate even more. I am sorely disappointed that he didn’t have the guts to completely renounce this garbage, trumpet the only thing that brings freedom and prosperity-—that is, personal responsibility-—and even regurgitate all the old crapola about the victim community needed ever more government handouts.

It’s truly disappointing.

Obviously Obama is comfortable in the company of racists, which brings the issue to the forefront. There'll be no lack of similar opinions from the other side. We'll see how the conversation develops, I suppose the result could be the complete rejection of racism, but I fear you're right, we'll be reliving the same arguements.

He's about 20 years too late for that. He should have walked out of that church and shaken the dust off his shoes decades ago.
