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 politicians—and now even president—that 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.

Liberals truly believe blacks are inferior. After all, don't blacks need liberals to give them a hand up...or a hand out? Without liberals, blacks couldn't get into schools, couldn't get a job, couldn't find a place to live, couldn't call 911...

Hey Egghead. Go see your shrink. You definitely need a “follow up”.
“The Election Was About Racism Against Barack Obama”
Wait! What? I could have sworn Hillary Clinton was the Dem nominee, not Obama, and Hillary is white, not black.

Global warming is caused by racism.
Or is racism caused by global warming?
Donald Trump is *definitely* caused by racism.
But Barack Obama is *not* caused by racism.
