| 48. I think you're right to an extent |
|
but it's mostly non-educated whites that feel that way. ANd they are the easiest to manipulate using fear and resentment.
Educated whites (and of course I'm generalizing) either a)think the evolution of our nation that Obama embodies and symbolizes is a great thing and/or b) they understand that the country is never THAT affected by one President. Good ones, bad ones, we've survived many.
