That seems like a bad opinion.
Obama isn't racist and neither are the people you're trying to mischaracterize. There's perhaps a point on relativism to be made (you can't separate good & bad from social norms that cleanly), but being relativistic is not exclusive to having conviction (you just have to own it). The sentiment being expressed, 'it's necessary to forget/trash the past/traditions' is the starting block for progress. That includes anti-racism, being that race is a retroactively imagined pedigree, which you've got to forget/dismiss.

So even if you're going to mischaracterize leftist here, the...uh...'more accurate' strawman would be imperialism, not racism.
