The presidential campaign is a great opportunity to reflect on some of the blatantly racist moments that took place during this epicly bitter campaign.
In 2008 Barack Obama became the first African-American to become President of the United States, and perhaps it was that fact alone which paved the way for the kind of attacks that past presidents never had to endure.
Voters head to the polls to cast ballots in the presidential race, congressional contests and gubernatorial match-ups.
Only time will tell whether President Barack Obama will be elected to serve another four years in the White House or he will fall short in his campaign against Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
