Post-Racial or Most-Racial?

When President Barack Obama won, many thought that we are in the competition era after American politics. Unfortunately, the reality does not meet expectations. On the contrary, the US government has made substantial efforts to eliminate the political influence of ethnic groups, but the political beliefs of Americans became more polarized than President Obama's president because of ethnic problems .

Michael Tesler shows that the presidential elections are more biased toward ethnic attitudes than any other era in the years after the 2008 election. Racial factors have increasingly influenced many aspects of political decision-making. This includes issues that seem to be irrelevant to race, such as people's appreciation for famous politicians and political parties, as well as public policy and objective economic conditions. When someone told him to belong to Ted Kennedy, some people even showed more positive feelings to Obama's dog.

In Obama time, Tesla proved that attitudes towards race brought about little attitude to everything else. It is unique in recent American politics. The difference in black-and-white opinion that supports Obama's medical reform is 20% larger than Bill Clinton's similar controversial proposal's black-and-white opinion.

Recently, in the new book of Obama era "racial discrimination or multiethnic: race and politics", Tesler recorded what he called "the ripple effect of radicalization". In other words, since Barack Obama is a historical ethnic character and his ethnic expression is ubiquitous as the first African-American President, racial attitudes are constantly being revitalized. Moreover, as the Democratic Party was released by the conservatives of the "Blue Dog" remaining in the landslide in mid 2010, the confidence that they can win through the "Obama Association" of ethnic minority and white liberalism increased I will. In the general election (basically based on the strategy described in Thomas Schaller 's 2006 publication "Whistling Past Dixie"), as Bill Clinton won in 1992 and 1996, the race and social problems The reason is getting less. necessary

This victory was called "America after racial discrimination" and the reconstruction of the discrimination of one of the country's first racial slavery offenses and Jim Crowe was eventually forgiven by election as a black commander. For a while, the country was immersed in the racism of racial harmony. President Negro will influence the new vision of several generations of young children to accept American citizenship.
