Its a real dilemna. If blacks can't succeed because of the country's racism, how has Obama succeeded? What has white racism even done to hold him back? The one setback I see in his career was an election loss to another black candidate.

Blacks have much more counting against them than whites do in this country.

The biggest things blacks have counting against them is our lousy elementary education system and our dysfunctional inner city street culture.

Obama didn't face either of those. His grandparents put him in a good school and they provided a decent stable home for him far away from America's innercity culture.

Obama's doing the same for his own kids. But unfortuntely, he's not helping poor blacks do what succeeded for him and for his kids.
