Yeah...well...my ass.
Well guess what...even white people with college educations fled to the Republican Party while Obama was in office. Fucking white people.

Wow, you are really a hate filled little race-baiter. The Dems conceded the white working class vote a while ago.
Here it is, in the words of a lefty luminary, all the way back in 2011:
For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and increasingly severe losses among white voters. But preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class.
All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.
...and this:
The 2012 approach treats white voters without college degrees as an unattainable cohort. The Democratic goal with these voters is to keep Republican winning margins to manageable levels, in the 12 to 15 percent range, as opposed to the 30-point margin of 2010 — a level at which even solid wins among minorities and other constituencies are not enough to produce Democratic victories.
So it wasn't "racism" and a reaction to a "black president". Its the result of a Democrat party political strategy informed by political realities that pre-date Obama. Take off your hate-filled green colored glasses and see reality. The party of the "working guy" decided to leave the "working guy" behind a while ago.
