You don't fight racism by being a racist. You don't fight discrimination by discriminating. The civil rights marches of the 60's was about equal rights and freedoms. It was about lots of people from lots of racial backgrounds coming together to protest and 'force' (without violence) the government to change things. Change does not come in one day, one year, or even in one lifetime. The blacks of today have it a thousand times better than the blacks of the 60's, who in turn had it thousands of times better than the blacks 50 years earlier, and then on.
Change can come from a revolution or an evolution. Force too much too soon and you've got the former. Obama, by his choices and actions, can be a step in that evolution. This entire "too bad white men, now you get yours" is revolution. What would I do? I'd ensure that the 60's did happen again. The 60's of unity for equality and peace, not the flipping of the status quo.
