The truth is, we whites are nervous at the prospect of a black becoming president when most blacks in our predominantly white society still celebrate their victimhood.
Part of the reason is the double standard. While blacks entrench themselves in a black world of their making (having assumed the role whites once played in that regard), whites would be roundly criticized for doing the same thing.
I don't think many whites would even want to emulate blacks in that regard. It amounts to delay of the game. If all races are going to live together in harmony, we have to de-emphasize race. That blacks are going in the opposite direction is counterproductive, IMO.
A black president who could serve all Americans equally would be a breakthrough in the effort to de-emphasize color. Obama fits the mould well enough; unfortunatesly his liberal politics put me off. But all this hand wringing over every crumb of perceived racism is a distraction unworthy of us.

Sir I beg to differ. White people have no problems with a black man in power. I would think Colin Powell would have easily won the nomination of the republican party and had a good shot at the White House.
White people, and others, have a problem with a black supremicist in the White House, just like a white supremicist in the White House.
I believe Obama is more loyal to Africa than America. I believe Obama is a Marxist in his approach to the economy. I believe Obama is a liberal to the extreme in all aspects of his world view. And that scares the bejeezus out of me.
