The fact that we're still discussing the openness to a black president is the real point. Being a racial and ethnic minority is still viewed as a pathology to many as it uneasily deviates from the norm. Similar to how people discuss having a female president, a homosexual president, a blind president, an old president, and so forth.

In some ways you are very correct.
Since the US was "born", Blacks fought and died for her.
Yet after every war, their valor was forgotten and the old beliefs were brought back up.
Even TR "forgot" that the 9Th and 10Th "Buffalo Solders" supported his Rough Riders up the hill when he was running for POTUS.
Times change slowly. As do people. And thus a Country.
