Whatever his motivations are, I can tell you that, based on my black Facebook friends and the conversations they have amongst each other that the issue of their permanent victimization because of slavery 5 generations ago, and their entitlement to reparations, is at a fever pitch at the moment.

Here's my impression, based on the chatter I've read. Our black friends on Facebook are aware that Barack Obama is not God's gift to the office of the presidency, and that he is in fact incompetent, and in way over his head. (Some of them incorrectly blame this on the fact that he was raised by his white grandparents.) He just can't create the conditions for a real economic recovery. They know it.

So they are afraid that whites and Latinos will never vote for a black presidential candidate again in their lifetimes, remembering the incompetence of this one. They feel the next four years is their final opportunity to get the slavery reparations gravy train rolling. "Fever pitch" accurately describes the "now or never" mood I've seen in some of their comments.

So why did Latinos and rich whites vote for the Kenyan in 2012????? Unless now that the wheels have come off the cart, they realize the President they have is not the one they thought they were voting for?
