Is independence from federal control - racist?

I was asked after the November elections if I thought that Obama's election would help race relations in the United States. At the time, I said no.

This was the kind of stuff I was afraid of:

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The highest-ranking black congressman says opposition to the federal stimulus package by southern governors is "a slap in the face of African-Americans."

    Do the practices of antebellum slavery (slaves do as instructed, the Big House provides, slaves remain slaves) and big government seem kindred, or is it just me? Perhaps "black leaders" should help themselves to their own advice (given abundantly to white conservatives), and start living in the 21st century.
