What are opinions of racial aftermath, if Obama were elected?

What are opinions of racial aftermath, if Obama were elected. I've yet to decide between Obama or Hillary but I'm very curious if that is a possible outcome? If so how would we address the issue?

1. I am not sure what all will happen.....it is hard to predict, if anything at all......I do however see many more governmental programs based on ethnicity......
2. wish we could quit classifying people like that. Its sad.
3. The lesser of two evils would be Obama. I think if he is elected(shudders)that there would be some kind of fallout. I think it sad, but true. Our country runs hot about some topics and race is one of them. I think he would need extra security at all times, and that would include his family. I'm Republican and plan to vote for McCain or Huckabee; if I had to vote Dem, I'd vote for Edwards.
4. If Obama wins (not likely) this would signify that the race issues are over. Actually it is over now; to quote Dick Morris, "On the Democratic side, Obama - by winning in a totally white state - shows that racism is gone as a factor in American politics." No more race card Al and Jesse!
5. If Obama wins it will be a big event in American history because before last year nobody though we would have a black president for the next 100 years... Obama is not only of black decent but, he is the best amongst the people seeking to be the President... I will be shocked if he fails to win!
