If you don't think that racism is behind much of the opposition to Obama, then I don't think you understand the role of race in America.
And to claim that white people are at a political or economic disadvantage in this country is just pure fantasy.

What would you call it when the government looks at your race and decides, "You can't bid on this project", or "You don't qualify for this job/promotion"?
As a whole, I agree, the white race cannot claim to be disadvantaged.
But, as individuals, many whites are denied equal opportuninty.
