I agree with 2 points of your post on the class/socio-economic status, Jet.
But there are potential over-generalizations in the above post, IMO.
Yes, I do believe
certain whites from certain geographical areas and certain socio-economic backgrounds will resent a black candidate. But how many (what %) we don't know. The US has changed, with more young people, more mixed races and marriages, and changing attitudes for the better, IMO.
The second part of your post I agree with (as I stated above) about the "educated" folks.
The 3rd part: I
do think that the US can embrace a black President if he appoints good people to cabinet and bureaucratic positions, has popular stands on policies, and if the economy rebounds (even though the Prez has little to do with the Macro economy), IMO.
