Look, people react emotionally to Biden and Pelosi too- and I don't think either of them is black. While I agree with you that there is a lot of racism in America (and whites and all minorities have large racist populations) - I don't think this political anger and fear is racial, or primarily racial. Do you remember the Clinton fear and anger? There was crazy talk back when Clinton was president (although I do remember he was the first "black" president). Folks went around the bend- accusing him of all sorts of wacky stuff. And, honestly, as bad as Bush the baby was, he wasn't as bad as the nuttiest parts of the dem left said he was- though he was plenty bad (as far as I'm concerned.)

So that fear and anger you are seeing is just the fear and anger of a motivated fringe.
