The Clintons are not responsible for the hatred Obama supporters are experiencing, though they did add fuel to the fire with some of their statements.

No, this IMO was bound to happen as Obama gained strength. I think some people at first were intrigued by this unknown man - "their" America would entertain his candidacy. But, now that he is the presumptive nominee, some, I'd bet, are fearful of actually having a black president.

Outward racists don't like black people, period. Some who consider themselves open-minded and race-sensitive have problems with blacks in power. Obama is in power, and as that grows, I think we will see more hatred.
