Hey, Edg, I haven't gotten any of the racist junk mail you have (yet), and I don't disagree with you that Obama's nomination (should that happen) and possible election would bring out blatant racism and uncover for all to see its ugliness and perversity, but I think that'll be a very good thing. I feel that many people who harbor racism subtly but as a chronic condition will recognize it and repudiate it when it's thrown into high relief for them and they have to make a conscious choice.
Furthermore, the positive emotional PR generated worldwide by the election of a black american with a muslim middle name and a reputation for inspiration cannot begin to be calculated. That alone (IMO) would vault an Obama presidency (and the USA) into a new relationship with the world. Stress along the different faultlines of dissension that make up world politics could be relieved and a true rapproachment with the Islamic mindset that up to now we just haven't made any effort to understand and appreciate could be achieved. More and more I'm viewing this campaign as being a pivot point in the direction of world consciousness.
