Aren't we past this?

Lowery says racism is worse under Obama, but praises him nonetheless. "I think the election of Barack Obama caught a lot of people by surprise, they didn't think that he was going to get elected...And these people are not prepared to deal with a black president and they are determined that he will be a one term president. Now unfortunately, I think, they are willing to risk the well being of the country ... and that's not patriotism, those are not people who love the country, and that's why I think America will wake up."
