If its a close race and Obama loses to a white person will blacks riot?
Who knows? I think an equally valid question is: If it's a close race and Obama wins over a white person, will whites riot - in particular, the Tea Party crowd?

If the defeat is fair, I don't think there will be riots. If however things are similar to the Gore/Bush mess, people might riot, but not just blacks, also more radical white liberals. Obama is not the president of African-Americans, but of all US-Americans. And in my view he does a pretty good job at that, he avoids being drawn into the civil rights thingy and acting as a kind of AA spokesman. And I assume a number of blacks are not overly happy with that if they expected some special treatment for AA's.
