I also do not like Obama’s politics, but I recognize his appeal as a candidate nevertheless.
I also hope the success of his candidacy, along with that of Hillary Clinton, put to bed the ongoing notion that America is so poisonously racist or poisonously paternalistic as always depicted by our detractors here and abroad.
White Dems voted overwhelmingly for Obama — if “racism” still exists and is alive and well in America — it is certainly among the Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics. They are the ones who voted overwhelmingly along racial lines. But the fact that most of the non-white cultures on earth are still immersed in overt racist culture is a tale never revealed by the white-loathing media of the world. America — at least white America seems to have moved beyond this if voting patterns are any indication (and they certainly ARE an indication — one of the best).
