He might have stirred up a bit more racism by sheer virtue of partisan alignment, as right-wingers who might have less reason to dislike blacks now have a better one, while less partisan persons grow used to seeing a black man in the highest office, so it evens out. For the average black, i doubt it makes much difference at all, as famous blacks can essentially "dodge" racism that still afflicts poor or even middle-class blacks, a la Sal's hypocritical son in the Spike Lee movie "Do the Right Thing," who liked Michael Jackson (pre-vitaligo) and Kareem Abdul-Jibar but was still prejudiced against their restaurant's black patrons, so Americans who might respect Obama will still look warily on their black neighbors.
A long way of saying "no change in the status quo."
