White Riot over Obama?
“Will white people riot if Barack Obama wins?” wonders Wendi C. Thomas at The Root. She’s been asked whether black people will riot if Obama doesn’t win, but gauging the ugly anger (shouts of “Kill him!”) cropping up in the presidential campaign, she sees an alternate possibility: “Will the dream of a perfect streak of white men in the White House, if deferred, cause white people to explode?” The idea, she argues, is no more absurd than black people rioting—and it could be scarier.
