Honestly, I think his attitude is so preposterous that I don't feel a need to refute his statements.
If someone posted that the world is flat and the moon is made of cheese, I'd have a similar reaction.
Ha ha......predictable cowardice
Obama subtitled his book: A Story of Race and Inheritance
It's chock full of racism, discussion of race, racial issues, if you read it you'd see Obama is obsessed by race. Read the book and then try to sound intelligent.
It is definitely alive and well, and white people bear the brunt of it. It is no fun being a member of the most hated demographic in the World.
And what demographic would that be? White? Something that outside of the USA is nothing more than a color and not a race. Please explain.
White simply means you can't trace back your origins and identify yourself only by your skin color. European is more appropriate, just as blacks call themselves African-Americans.
Racism is not going to die just because a non-white is elected President, just the same as a vegeterian will not stop the eating of meat.

You're right, it's going to get worse. We all know how blacks act when it comes to racial politics. La Raza is the latest racist political force out there. Even Asian-Americans have joined the racist-spoils system, and they were able to extract a promise by Hilary Clinton (had she won) that she would appoint more "Asian" judges.
The racial spoils game has been kicked up a notch with Obama's election. It's sadly becoming a huge distraction, as the time spent by all of us on this thread proves. If we didn't have a multi-cult and polyglot nation, racism wouldn't and couldn't exist in a homogeneous nation.

He is a black man in America. For us, being obsessed with race is a natural consequence of that basic reality.

No it's not. It's an excuse, so you don't ever have to work.
Look at the Koreans, who come here without even being able to speak the language, do they whine? Who "gives" them anything?
They sure as hell don't weasel trillions of US taxes in the form welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants.
Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
Always complaining, and you guys never hold up your part of the bargain. As far as Whites are concerned, since you have your Black-racists in the white house, your whining privileges are over. Blame the Koreans for succeeding why don't you.

You are just proving my point. I responded to some dumb rant about Obama being obsessed with race - and so the hell what if he is - and you unload another one of your prepared racist screeds about who works and who doesn't? Don't compare anyone with the Koreans. They have great men and women, and they have not-so-great men and women. Just like any other group of people. The biggest weasels of US taxes are corporations and robber barons that the Republicans have given trillions of dollars of corporate welfare to. You want to vent your anger, vent it at the idiots who have allowed it to happen. The only black man you need to keep your eye on is our new President, who will be bailing your sorry behind out of this aforementioned economic disaster we find ourselves in right now.

obama isn't black. you can call him african american, because his father was an african immigrant. but he was raised by his white mother, and grandparents. I don't think the obama's have too much in common with a real black american.

According to your criteria, there are no black people in America.

What's your point, really?
How about if you let people define their ethnicity however they want?
