ATLANTA (Reuters) - The election of Barack Obama as the first black U.S. president should help revive America's image abroad as a land of opportunity for all.
But some analysts fear Obama's win could actually undermine efforts to tackle inequality between blacks and whites in a country where racial segregation in the south prevented blacks from voting as recently as the 1960s.
Who didn't see this coming? The people who make their living off of racemongering are not going to give up their livelihood just because the country has elevated a black man to the highest office in the land (not to mention having a black Secretary of State for the last eight years).
Nope, we're all still racists.
