"his benefit to the black community will be more psychological: for the first time in US history, its possible to be black and to aspire to the presidency. That's huge." Little black kids dreaming of being president, knowing it's really possible. It must give the Dave's of the world chills..

Ted, > In fact, his benefit to the black community will be more psychological: for the first time in US history, its possible to be black and to aspire to the presidency. That's huge. That's exactly my point. If this doesn't do it, there will be nothing left 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. Tenchusatsu

Obama is going to hurt race relations and have a negative effect on black people in America, win or lose. Lose (which is what's going to happen) - his loss will be blamed on racist Amerikka. Win - he'd come into office with great dreams for him that couldn't be realized. The reality is he'd be a colossal failure just like he was in Chicago. Working for slumlords in whose unheated buildings poor blacks froze in the winter. Wasting $150M on "education reform" that benefited no public school children while making sure his own kids went to an exclusive expensive private school (as he had himself).
