16. Obama failed....
As a half Jew -- I have a unique perspective on this. I don't see race relations betweens blacks and Jews improving at all because of Obama, in fact they will get much worse.

Why? People from the beginning of time; have not voluntarily sought peace. Most times they have had to of been forced into it by wars; or by spiritual awakenings etc., not by politicians, no matter how noble Obama may sound. Even, the politicians in the 60s had to be forced -- to put on the books -- that racism was illegal.

They basically want diversions from reality.

People are no longer inner oriented; but find their identity in the group, so no matter what Obama says; that would not stop the fear that a Jew would feel if they walked into Obama's church, or the fear they would feel at a Nation of Islam rally...and a generation of people that are outer directed do not judge people by their inner thoughts -- or beliefs -- but rather by their appearance.

And, someone that looks like a Jew would never be welcome in Obama's church, no matter how many well written articles are put out that try and reduce the tensions, between the blacks and Jews.
