White people feel happy now. They're not racist. I hope you know better. Let's face it: Obama is pretty much a textbook "acceptable" black man. 1. He's half white, so he can't hate white folks, right? and 2. The guy looks white. Would he have won if he looked like this? Would he have won if almost the entire country didn't hate Bush and McCain actually knew how to run a campaign and had ideas other than smearing his opponent Or if the economy wasn't in shambles? Or if Obama's republican opponent was a youngish capable, intelligent white guy? Of course not. Now you can go back to patting yourself on the back.
