VIOLENT racist wackos... I didn't say bigots. Racism is alive and well everywhere and the US is definitely no exception. The difference is, nowadays, they'll just complain that some black guy is president, rather than take a shot at him... or like I also said, would be too clumsy to pull it off. No one has successfully assassinated a US president since JFK, and there are allegations to this day it was a complex hit, with government and mafia connections abound. Not some angry lunatic acting alone.

Besides, if someone was really that hell-bent against him, they would take a shot at him before he's president, to ensure that a. "no colored fella ain't ever gonna be president" and b. less security.
