Barack Obama's Probelm with White Liberals

Barack Obama's Problem with White Liberals

Barack
Obama has a racial problem, but it's not what the media thinks.  He does not have a problem with rednecks, older voters, or even women offended by attacks on Hilary Clinton.  Barack Obama's racial problem is white liberals.

A central belief of modern liberalism, after all, is the conviction that the white American is deeply racist.  For three decades, Americans white liberals have thought that America is so incapable of racial fairness that society needs an array of laws and preferences to ensure that black people are treated fairly.

All of those policies are based on the belief that America is racist, and that their fellow Americans are personally biased and prejudiced.

It also leads to that many race-holding liberals will be among the last to believe that America will ever elect an African-American as our president of the United States of America.

White liberals face this because they are having inconsistent beliefs towards change.  If they decide America is ready for a black president and back Obama they would also have to give up or at least change decades of convictions about American bias.  

The euphemism for this is "electability."  It is one of the main reasons why the race and gender issues are being brought up so aggressively among post-New Hampshire Democrats.
