It's not as if he's got a prayer anyway, being black, but it is symptomatic of the racism that's still an undercurrent in this country. You just can't come right out and say race is the major factor, but you CAN imply he's got loyalties elsewhere, which is a crock of shit imo. I wonder why it's hardly ever brought up in regards to the Bush families rather close ties to the Saudis? Oh, the Bushes are WHITE which means they're more american than anyone who isn't, no matter who their friends are. It's just ignorance.
