In the lead up to Obama’s 2008 election, many of us thought electing a black President could heal America’s racial wounds. We were, sadly, and 
unmistakably, wrong. For those who envisioned Obama ushering in a period of racial detente, those dreams were quickly dashed. If anything, the election of the first black president made racists more vocal and forceful, with President Obama being referred to as a “tar baby”, an illegitimate Kenyan, and a man who “hates white culture.”
Does anyone still believe that President Obama’s reelection will do what his historical first election could not? Yep. Touré. In a TIME op-ed, Touré writes:
Anyone would vote for a superhero who lived up to my mom’s standard of having to be twice as good. But for it to embrace a nonmagical black person who cannot promise anything but hope, intelligence, sweat and experience, now that comes closer to equality. Equality is freedom from having to be twice as good to get ahead.

I think this guy Touré is making a career saying what he thinks white liberals want to hear. Most white people don’t acknowledge racism exist so the next 4 years if President Obama is re-elected there will be more of the same denial about racism.
IMO race relations has gotten worse since president Obama’s been elected. The question was asked 4 years ago is this country ready for a black president. I think we can safely say the answer to that question is NO. President Obama has barely been able to govern because of political obstructionist pandering to white fear and racial hatred. Not to mention President Obama has practically ignored black voters in an attempt to appeal to frightened whites.
Beyond this election race relations will continue to get worst in America due to the shrinking white population. Whites are terrified that a growing minority population will do to them what they did to us.

If President Obama is not re-elected, there will be more division.
Now is the time for all of the American people to get behind our President and show him thst we have his back.
Let the racist be who they are, after awhile, they won’t even matter.

Not this time around. white boys aren’t use to taking orders from a brother for 8 years, let alone 4. If he is re-elected, there will not be racial harmony anywhere, but in Toure’ mind.

Their has never been racial harmony to begin with…Some people have had blinders on for years and now have been awaken to the eye openers of reality..Of more vocal and forceful thinking and speaking of racism… If they feel they can get harmony, they have to start with the people that started it to begin with, thats keeping the force of the movement of racsim going on.
