The voters you discuss would say they never really had a choice before, now they do. Not necessarily because Obama is black, but because they have a candidate that clearly understands their concerns. They would say they never had that type of candidate before.
I actually agree with you. This is the arguement put forth by black voters.
I would counter that by asking: So there really was never a white candidate that understands your concerns because they are white? or what?
