all of those factors would apply to anybody, regardless of race. so we start over again.
i also find it somewhat amusing to see you say that "that theory would never hold up in the real world." it seems that your theory - that a single semi-black man being elected office should significantly alter hiring policies and directives...well, might not hold up in the real world. that black people, or other ethnic minorities, fail because they all emulate drug-lord and nwa rap videos...might not hold up in the real world. whatever - we simply disagree on this point. i'm perfectly open to discussions of race relations in the united states, or in general - but the pretense that a single event should dramatically alter our perception of things is something i find difficult to believe...other than to say "it is possible." i'll throw out another statistical term - outlier.
