I think the Wright issue has opened the eyes of a lot of whites to the fact that all the programs, reparations, and appeasement have been for naught.

They still hold their grievances, they still hate whitey, including lib whitey, and they’re still angry at you because of your skin color that gives you “privilege”.

I hope you're right, but I'm afraid you're not. I think Obama will get a lot of votes from whites who think that if we elect a black president maybe we can finally put the race question behind us. Of course, we'll never put the question behind us because too many people are invested in continuing the antagonism, but I'm afraid many younger voters, in particular, won't understand that.

Plus, younger voters tend to believe that if we just elect someone "new" and "fresh" everything will be peachy. They haven't been around long enough to know that Obama is just another politician -- and an especially scary one at that. Much scarier than Hillary Clinton (and I never thought I'd say such a thing).
