More on Obama and race

“White people, including white Republicans, are so fearful of being accused of racial bigotry that they will go so far as to condemn fellow Republicans who address a politician, quite possibly the next president of the United States, by his full name.

“Moreover, what is worse, we have reached a point where using his full name can make one vulnerable to charges of racism. Far from improving inter-racial relations, an Obama presidency, I dread, will drastically worsen them. As the scrutiny of Obama intensifies, accusations of racism on the part of his supporters will proliferate exponentially.”
