Just don’t expect any hyperventilating from Chris Matthews:

Decrying Barack Obama as “white power in black face,” hundreds of African-Americans marched on the White House Saturday to protest policies of the first black US president, and demand that he bring US troops home.

More than 200 people gathered for the first public demonstration by African Americans against the Obama administration since his historic inauguration in January, and slammed the president for continuing what they described as Washington’s “imperialist” agenda around the world.

“We recognize that Barack Hussein Obama is white power in black face,” civil rights activist Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the Black is Back coalition which arranged the protest, called into a megaphone as the group marched outside the mansion’s gates.

We see once again that real racism is borne of left-wing, identity politics.  There’s no reason why Obama’s race should have anything to do with troop levels in Afghanistan.  There is no black or white policy involved, yet Obama is racially attacked because race-baiters have propagated the destructive idea that ones color has something to do with ones positions on certain issues, even those totally irrelevant to race.  In the eyes of liberal, identity-politics practitioners, anyone who strays from the political bounds of their racial identity is fair game for racist attacks.
