Does "white guilt" ring a bell? Does "blame the black guy" ring a bell? It could be a wild theory, but I believe that Obama was selected because white liberals wanted to be free of "white guilt". Some actually believed in a post-racial America, and I'll admit that although I didn't vote in 2008 nor did I openly support Obama, I fancied that the world would open up more to Black people. Reality struck me two days later when I realized that hope was foolish, and that the only change would be change for the worse.

Of course, the election of Obama has caused more racism to come out of the woodworks. The USA is on its last legs, and with a Black guy in office (he is half-white, but let's be honest; people see his Black side because of the one-drop rule), that is only going to make racial tensions worse.
