Bob, it goes beyond identifying.  It is the Pollyanna ploy of thinking that 
if we all just smile and twinkle a bit, we would find that there really isn't 
any problem except in our own mind.

Blacks voted something like 97% or Obama, and the reality is that after years 
of hearing the likes of the Rev. Wright tell them that the only reason it was 
hard for them to make their mortgages and buy gas was because people like 
Bush was eating their lunch, they see Obama as St. George who is going to 
slay 
the dragon and deliver them from such.

It's not a matter of identifying anyone.  It is a matter of recognizing the 
expectations of a portion of our population and dealing with it.
