You do not agree ( MDM) that African AMerican Equality has been a hard won fight?

I'm not saying that at all, although I would say that "equality" isn't fully there right now anyway.

I am just saying that it was his time to shine and show the world that Nothing can stand in the way of African AMerican Progress.

I'm pretty sure more people look at Obama as a President, not a racial figure.

Finally shut out racism for good.

Regardless of how Obama did/is doing in office.  He could have reversed the economic crisis and racism will still exist.  

Show racist that AFrican Americans are just as good as anyone else.

There were/are many African American celebrities that have already shown that they can do anything anyone else can.  Actors, musicians, political leaders, etc.

I am trying to be gentle with this subject, but I was interested. I am not saying I am thinking this, but I can imagine racist are saying it.

Not set back as in segregated again, just.....a way of thinking maybe? Or maybe . views towards African Americans by the world. I know that their are many successful African American's and that that is not a problem. Just that he was the first to be President and he failed.

Failed what, exactly?  I'm not saying that he hasn't failed anything, but the way you're putting it, you're making it seem like he's failed pretty much everything.  No president has been perfect, and Obama is far from being the worst president.  Expecting him to be an exceptional president was too high of a demand to begin with.

Not sure how else to explain it. You seem to want to be offended so I will just leave it at that. I do not know why race threads always have to be so hard to discuss on this site.
