Interesting you should say that... Because some of my "seasoned sorors" who only obtain news from the newspaper, television and radio were discussing how worried they were with the "real or implied threats" that Obama was getting from the old guard racists, such as the KKK and other white supremacists. They were remarking how Obama needed Secret Service protection early in his campaign.
What piqued my interest was that my "seasoned sorors" were
very concerned for Obama's overall safety and maybe the US says their ready, but is really not...
You have at least 4-5 generations voting here and each generation saw great differences in the world overtime - as evidenced by Andy Rooney's comments about what is a Recession vs. a Depression... I think that is how sly comments are made.
My point is in regards to your "grassroots" statement: The young and "enlightened young", are realizing (or reinvigorated) to see how they can "move mountains" again and accomplish the true heritage of the United States. I don't think US racism/bigotry will die if Obama wins, but it will be removed from active government sanctioning to into psychological problems where it should rightfully be.
