The biggest effect of Obama on race politics may be that he has used up most or all of the reservoir of white guilt on which the diversity industrial complex has been thriving for years. Polling already shows that people are much less willing to accept that we need to make up for past discrimination, now that we have elected a black president. That does not harbor well for affirmative action and race-based preferences in the future. Obama may have eaten what was left of black america's free lunch. For a bit of anecdotal evidence, look at the attempts to tie Obamacare to, what else? racism. What are those who oppose this stupid plan? They are racists. But it isn't sticking this time. The chicken little effect.
