So will the perceived level of poor race relations increase with McCain win, and decrease with Obama winning?

    It's true that many whites are not voting for Barack solely based on his race. It's also true that many black are voting for Barack on the basis of his race.

    Black Democrats play a key role. Also, those rednecks in the midwest and south are anti-black, so I guess it evens out.

    The only people who are basing their vote on race, are black democrats.
