I remember when Obama was elected and white people were afraid to go out in the street because of the roving gangs of black people looking to assault them. I had to call my one black friend to walk me to my car each morning so I could go safely to work.  
It would have been nice to have a way to have a way to tell the black people who were not going to assault me from all the other ones. This is a great idea.
