Very little. The only people you could say it was about race would be those who held to democrat party beliefs prior to his election and now oppose his implementation of those beliefs. Unless, maybe, those previously held beliefs were based on youth or ignorance. Those of us on the right disliked his policies when they were Clinton's and Carter's policies as well.

He gets no more hate than Bush and, in fact, likely less. No one camps out at his private residence spewing anger towards him, few burn him in effigy, few put swastikas on his image, few march in protest screaming obscenities and threats as they did Bush.
