Just because a black man is in office? There's no money and power in that. They don't give a damn what color he is. Racism is a great tool though.. one of the best the power few have to control us. We just walk into their trap by believing that it's all about a black man in office. If they can increase their power and make a buck, they would try to put a purple man in office. Racism is not the goal, it's a tool. Divide and conquer. Don't fall for it.
