Barack Obama's January 3rd Democratic Caucus victory in Iowa demonstrated that a Black man - or, at least, this particular Black man - could attract winning numbers of white voters. The candidate's supporters claimed Iowa signaled a new day, that "race doesn't matter" anymore in the United States. They are in a fantasy of denial.

"Much of his white support was premised on Obama being a ‘good,' that is non-threatening, middle-class, academic-friendly, and ‘not-too fiery' black."

"Iowa might be ready to vote for Obama but seems indifferent to routine racial oppression."

"Iowa locks up African Americans at 13.6 times the frequency that it imprisons whites."

"Loving the ‘good' (bourgeois) black Obama is the other side of the coin of hating the ‘bad' and ‘underclass' blacks."
