To Have a black president is the worst thing to happen to blacks in the US

Having an African-American president has been the worst development for African-Americans in the US. For many reasons: 1) it basically made many whites feel that racism is now dead, and that the very election of ONE African-American person to the presidency is all what is needed to wash away all the sins of the republic against African-Americans, and should in itself force African-Americans to just forget about slavery and racism and to stop whining and complaining.  2) this black president has been desperate to show that he is not really black from day one, and has avoided every opportunity to speak against racism.  And in that one speech that he gave about race (not about racism) he manages to please whites because he makes the issue of racism a mere misunderstanding and he lays the blame on both sides. Man/Woman: this is a man who said that his grandmother's fears of black men was justified.  3) the election of this black president will now end the little motive in the political process to address grievances of African-Americans.  4) this particular African-American has basically spent his entire time in the White House trying to prove to white Americans that he is above and beyond race.  5) This African-American president has been using violence indiscriminately in various parts of Africa and Asia, and thus the idea of violence by white cops against blacks in Missouri would not in any way disturb him.  He would in fact be hypocritical to feign outrage.
