White America has prided itself as a nation based on acquired citizenship, freedom of religion and the rule of law, and formed by immigration. But that ideology was dominant two generations ago. The defining distinction, from the beginning, has been race and color, not religion or nationality. What post-Trump white America has expressed by endorsing Trump's campaign to "Make America Great Again" is not merely anger against elites in general but targeted resentment against the recent history of success by Americans of color. The racism in this year's election was not about an older stereotype of the Willie Horton-type, but directed against Barack Obama. It is precisely the parity in the achievements of black Americans, those who have become CEOs, scholars, scientists, artists, doctors, lawyers and politiciansand now even presidentthat has fueled the resurgence of intolerance and anti-immigrant sentiment.
Our challenge is to confront and diffuse the hypocrisy that exists between our ideals; our rhetoric about America as a place of freedom, tolerance and justice for all, a nation in which the Constitution and the Statue of Liberty are our guiding symbols; and our actions. Those of us who are in the dwindling white majority need to persuade our fellow citizens that overcoming prejudice is tested not by embracing those subordinate to us in class and status but by celebrating the reality of successful integration, the leading presence of citizens of color into the nation's elite.

In case this idiot forgot, Obama wasn’t running for reelection. The so-called “elite” was on the shit list this cycle. It had nothing to do with race. Just the middle class tired of getting shellacked from both sides in that corrupt dump called Washington, DC.
I didn’t know that Barack Obama was running again this year.
