NPR interview

LOCKE: And so the incredible optimism I felt on the other side of Obama is dashed, that this really is a sense that this is a backlash to that. That there is a large segment of the population for whom having a black president was such an assault on their identity. That their reaction to it has no reason. It makes no logical sense.

GREENE: You really see this as a lot of Americans saying we weren't ready for a black president, did not want a black president? What exactly are you saying?

LOCKE: I think of it through the level of the psyche, I think in the sense that we are still in a patriarchy. Goodness gracious, didn't we see that yesterday? In the sense that the president is, like, the - a father of the nation or a man that we're meant to look up to. I think there's a large segment of white folks who could not take that, the idea that this person was above them in some way. I think it was very dislocating in terms of their sense of identity.

Well, they're right. That racist TPOS, obama, has been nothing BUT a burden on America. We finally get that burden off our backs. It's actually a VERY awesome feeling to have America back. It feels like a dark cloud has been blown away and the rays of sunshine are again upon us.
Thank God!

White America welcomed a black Presidenf. We wanted him to be the great healer. Instead he was the agitator in chief.

They really should have looked back to how she couldn't beat a black man for President last go round. By logic (by the numbers) the steps might have gone a woman then a black man for President. That she couldn't beat a relative new comer of minority persuasion should have been enough for these guys to ever seriously back her with dollars and sense.
