Has Barrack Obama set African American's back 20-50 years?

Of course not.

For people who aren't racist they will judge the Obama presidency without judging the entire African American demographic. The next African American candidate who comes forward is no more or less likely to get their vote than before 2008.

For people who are racist, they are already living >50 years in the past, so nothing has changed for them. And none of these people voted for Obama in either election. And they won't vote for the next African American candidate.

People who say they aren't racist but say they are less likely to vote for another African American candidate because of Obama, actually are and have always been racist.

That's why a lot of blacks say they love the KKK, because at least they are outwardly racist. Nothing irritates african americans more than the racists who hide behind the fact that they hate blacks.Deep down they can't stand blacks but they are too scared to admit it so they use crutch phrases like i'm not racist, in fact my ____________ is black or pull out stats out their rear end to justify their bigotry or stereotypical views on minorities. 

Here are some favorites from your friendly neighberhood hidden racist

"I'm not racist, in fact my best friend is black" "I'm not racist, I voted for the black guy" "I'm not racist, I don't see the color of your skin" "I'm not racist, my adopted sibling is black" 

I'll be here all week ladies and gentleman lol 

That's overstating things a bit. I think it's more along the lines of "At least with the KKK you know who your enemy is and what they're about." I don't think there's any love or grudging respect there. It is more an expression of disgust at the insidiousness of the unacknowledged racism of the "some of my friends black people" kind.
