In reply to the discussion: Do You Think Racial Animus Is Behind Willard Romney And His Supporters Contempt For Pres. Obama? [View all]Alekei_Firebird
(320 posts)About a century ago, Blacks had to overcome stereotypes that they weren't tough or disciplined enough to be physical matches against Whites. Well, a decades of athletic dominance have eroded that myth and now, racist Whites have to begrudgingly acknowledge that Blacks are at least their physical equals.
But these racist Whites have rested comfortably with the notion that at least Blacks weren't as smart or leader-like as Whites. But someone like Barack Obama shatters that self-serving myth.
They're scared that if Blacks can be physically AND mentally capable, then there will be nothing left to sustain their racist ideology of White supremacy.
Therefore, they sorely needed to make Obama an ineffectual 1-termer to show everybody that their racist beliefs were sound.
