I'm not sure what you are specifically asking about. Are you asking why people thought that your post was "racist" in another forum - do you meant that people thought it was "racist" against people in the US or racist against Obama. If people thought it was racist against Obama on another forum, it is probably because most US liberals are not used to hearing criticism of Obama coming from anyone but US conservatives often appeal to racist ideas and myths in their criticism.
The only thing in your post itself that could possibly be misinterpreted as racist might be this:So if it wasn't that line specifically, I think people probably just don't know where you are coming from politically when you criticize Obama.
If you are asking why there has not been significant change in the US over the last 40 years, then that is a more complicated subject. In short, I think there has been change, but it has been in the wrong direction from our perspective, the perspective of what's good for the working class.
Since the late 70s, there has been a one-sided class war of business against workers in order for business to regain declining profitability. This has meant that both parties in the US have sought to get rid of social programs, undo the reforms won by the social-movements of the 1960s and 70s: make US imperialism "respectable" in the eyes of US citizens after Vietnam; re-justify racism against blacks and latinos; marginalize political dissidents. They also went on the offensive against labor directly by smashing unions and passing laws that restrict labor rights, and setting up anti-union "right to work" states in the US south and southwest.
So the US working class is really pretty demoralized and confused because they have been on the defensive for an entire generation. Obama's initial popularity and the mass-illusions that he would actually make radical change in the US shows how desperate workers here do want all these supposedly "un-american" reforms... the problem is that the working class here is out of practice in how to actually organize and make forceful demands and win them.
