Barack Obama, White Racism and the Race for the White House
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008Senator Barack Obama’s unprecedented campaign to become President of the United States is providing numerous insights into the minds of white Americans, and the character of life in this multiracial society. First off, I am pleased to note that his success so far is largely due to strong support from whites in every section of the nation, including the old slave-holding regions south of the Mason-Dixon Line. This suggests the “New South,” which moderates and liberals from the region have been touting for decades, has finally arrived.
