Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father. With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name. -Snip

As this election charade "progresses" race will become the intimidating factor as any person that is anti Obummer will be labeled a hater. Dividing the country on race is the "system" at work doing its best. The final outcome may not be to the liking and interest of the white race.
Especially for the low/middle class whites who have slipped into the comfortable fog of insanity. As they continue to hump their tired asses back and forth to work, they'll find less opportunity thanks to the color of their skin and their age. They will rationalize it for a time, but reality will kick in eventually. I can't wait for that moment.
You left out the other qualifying pc terms..."undereducated and bitter". Undereducated is Obama speak or PC for stupid. Bitter is Obameese for hating those of position and wealth.

Yes, yet he and Michelle, both of whom never held a pvt. sector job, have become millionaires. Hell, they received a complete home redo as a "gift" (don't you dare ask about Tony Resko). Not bad for a "community activist."
"White guilt" is interesting too. You use "White" because Caucasians like that, it sounds, just, enlightened, as in the good guys wear white hats. Nobody likes the fact they are colored, and if that color is in a range of pasty tones. "Guilt" you use to admonish people for not taking advantage of an arbitrary value placed on a meaningless and minor physical difference between people whose ancestors lived with allot of sunlight and those who didn't, it's merely a spin.
