PVAF is publishing today's sharing because it is PVAF's mandate to share with humanity the life-sciences knowledge which effects and affects the daily lives of Earthlings on a daily, short-term and long-term with world events which has inherent power to change lives to a degree for all Earthlings...USA 2012 Presidential election is one of those world events and also includes the USA 2012 Congress and Senate Elections....

But as the 2012 USA Elections is so far turning out to be like no elections in the history of USA...in the sense that the prime challenger Mitt Romney has been supported by his Republican party which started fighting this election on the day the incumbent President Barrack Obama took office on January 20, 2009 with a "party motto" that the Republican Party would make  President Obama a one term President no matter what....and the Republican Party has performed to that spirit since then and is on track even today.....and thus this is a classic social-political study case of American citizenry which by whatever criteria one studies is still the most progressive and prosperous citizenry among Earthlings today.....This election result is going to leave a lasting legacy of USA citizenry along with the groundbreaking legacy of electing a black president in an 87 % majority white nation (some 308 million population) in 2009.......

       If President Obama had to run against Senator Obama of 2008, he’d probably be crushed.
Back then, Obama seemed superhuman; today he is merely mortal.
 
His victory in 2008 was historic, breaking the race barrier in the nation’s highest office. But an Obama victory in 2012 would say something even more profound about how far our country, USA,  has come.

Granted, Obama’s election (or not) is merely one of many factors that will tell us where we are on race in America. But it is a big one. In 2008, Obama had to overcome racial bias that a recent study by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, a Harvard Ph.D. candidate in economics, suggests may have cost him as many as 3 to 5 percentage points in the 2008 election.

Obama had to be extraordinary, which reminds me of something my mother told me when I was a boy: that being black meant I had to be twice as good to get ahead. Obama more than just good; in many ways, he was the embodiment of that staple of film and literature, the Magical Negro. The Magical Negro, or magical black friend, is a supporting stock character in American cinema who is portrayed coming to the aid of a film's white protagonists. These characters, who often possess special insight or mystical powers, have been a long tradition in American fiction...LEARN MORE ON THE NAME TOPIC BY CLICKING ON THE HYPERLINKED NAME)

The magical Negro is a character full of knowledge and wisdom, sometimes with supernatural powers, whose job is to help a white protagonist reach his full potential. Jim in Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn is the classic example. More recently, there were Will Smith in The Legend of Bagger Vance, Michael Clarke Duncan in The Green Mile and Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus in The Matrix, who offers Keanu Reeves’ Neo a red pill that will change his life.

Obama has been brought down to earth, and he now admits, as he said in his speech at the Democratic National Convention, invoking the words of Abraham Lincoln, “I have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that I had no place else to go.” Yet despite his failings and mortal humility, Obama remains the favorite to win: he leads 48% to 45% in the latest Gallup poll and 48.9% to 44.9% in the Real Clear Politics average of polls. (On Oct2/2012 Obama was leading in most polls by over 5 to 8 %)

All incumbents have natural advantages, but for Obama, incumbency is a double-edged sword. Given the super-human expectations placed on him when he took office, it’s not surprising that he has disappointed some of his followers.

So those poll numbers suggest something very interesting about this country in terms of racial progress.
       -They show American voters embracing a non-magical black man.
       - The magical Negro concept arose from a need to rectify supposed black inferiority with the undeniability of black wisdom by suggesting that wisdom is so alien that its origins cannot be explained by normal scientific methods.

While some may think it complimentary to be considered “magical,” it is infantilizing and offensive because it suggests black excellence is so shocking it can only come from a source that is supernatural.

To accept a black leader who is extraordinary yet so human that he cannot be magical is an entirely different prospect than electing a black superhero.

Anyone would vote for a superhero who lived up to my mom’s standard of having to be twice as good.

But for it to embrace a nonmagical black person who cannot promise anything but hope, intelligence, sweat and experience, now that comes closer to equality.

Equality is freedom from having to be twice as good to get ahead.
