If this doesn't do it, there will be nothing left to blame.

The factors that have caused black poverty and dysfunction will not have gone away just because Obama is elected president. They will still be considered factors to blame.

And I never said that Obama will eradicate poverty, nor am I accusing his supporters of having such fantasies. (Well not really.) All I need to see is a change in the trend, but that could take years even after a would-be Obama administration.

The trend has changed. Obama wouldn't have been possible 30 years ago. You wouldn't have been possible sixty years ago. I wouldn't have been possible 80-100 years ago.

The black rate of change has always been slower than the rate for other ethnicities. Hopefully, that rate may pick up with Obama's nomination and possible election. That doesn't mean there hasn't been progress.........there has, but its still too slow.
