Last year, if you did not vote for Obama, you were called a racist.

Could this moronic race card be played if Obama is only a one term president?

Will the race baiters come out and play the blame game and say America has not come far enough to elect a man of color to a second term?

Worst case scenario: Could people get so angry to see Obama leaving the White House, replaced by another president, not of color, that things get out of control? Could this make racial tensions even worse than before the Obama era?

I didn't call people racists if they didn't vote for Obama, I call them racists for what they are. Yes, if you're going to go w/this, then yes if he's not nominated again, of course you could say the racists made it not so. Or you could say he didn't get nominated again because people didn't want him as president, regardless of what his race is. So...it seems like you don't like it when people bring up race...so why did you?

Ignorant people will call you a racist if you didn't vote for Obama. And yes, there are plenty of those so it seams like a lot. But to answer your question. I think it will be some anger among some people but that's expected.

I could care less what they think, those that would entertain such reasoning are agenda driven and unreasonable in the first place. They will say what they want to say because it serves their agenda and continues their fallacious purpose.

Some will say it, I'm sure, but you'll know better. I think it's probably best to try to not let it bother you too much if they do say it.

Outside of a very small amount people did not call someone a racist if they did not vote for Obama. The right tries to pretend that everyone who didn't vote for Obama was called a racist which they just completely made up. They have been the ones who have played the race card on this issue.

This^^. There are going to be claims from both sides of the racist issue. One side will claim victory and hoop and holler, the other will claim racial bias and complain about it. We all know that it will be because the american public chose to not re-elect him.
