In fact, you better hope he overcomes that, even if he loses. That's because if you think African Americans are pissed at how they are treated now, you look at how mad they'll be if a candidate like Obama, who is about as post-racial as one can get in this day and age, gets beat because of racism. Obama isn't Al Sharpton or even Jesse Jackson. He's just a gifted politician who happens to be black.
