Why would you be proud to have a black president? If his race ever entered into the equation for you, that's a data point in favor of establishing a screening process for voting eligibility. (I'm against such a thing but I often feel that most people are making completely arbitrary decisions.)

Race is just one of many things that is "wrong" with the world. The two biggest things seem to be the tendency of humans to want to kill or convert anyone who follows a different ideology, and poverty. If I had to guess, in many cases the former is keeping many parts of the world from escaping the latter.
