Well looking into the future, it is a good sign that Obama's victories are being viewed differently than the way Bill Clinton and even Hillary views it which is that since Obama got 90% of the African American vote, he is merely a candidate of the African American community.

The last two heavy weight Supers who came out and supported Obama are not African American. And there are many African American heavyweight supers who support Hillary.

I hope that we will not have posters posting as such which I take from that post again:

"I think that the very fact that > 95% of blacks are voting for Obama make his candidacy an issue of race."

The Obama supporters I know were very furious on Obama for not rejecting Wright and his racial remarks at the Press Club on Monday morning. And it is in that spirit that they will push forward to ensure that others don't define him as a "Black only" candidate particularly when he himself has endeavored to not be one.
