And I am firm on this: I don't think some white Americans fully understand how serious this is for black America!

If Obama loses reelection, we will not see another black American--male or female--as president in our lifetime or the next.

I'm not entirely sure about this bit but I agree 100% with the rest. Obama has inspired so many black people and other minorities (it's not just black folks who love him and are inspired. Asians and Hispanics love him as well and the article has already mentioned his high marks with women) that there may be another brother or sister not too far behind him. And that would just drive the racists crazy.
