You're right, any kind of change poses a threat and sparks violence to curb the change and keep the status quo. Add an African American Presidential hopeful to the mix and it's multiplied.
because he's such a change from the status quo

I agree with you that his policies aren't all that much of a change - but as DSTChaos noted, there's only going to be one kind of "change" that matters in relation to these kind of attempts.

Hardly. That's very simplistics. It's very easy (and more true than untrue) that they see his shitty policies rather than the color of his skin. It's not always that glamorous to use the race card, Chaos.
