Because having one black person as President does not prevent some bigot in downtown America from discriminating against someone because they are black.

Did anyone think that as soon as one black man becomes President that all the bigots would proclaim "Games over, gotta be nice to them now."?

I don't care of the President and every single member of congress is black, we will still have bigots discriminating against people because of their race.

Racism will exist in this country as long as there are bigots who choose (and it is their choice) to discriminate based on race..
