Do black people feel disheartened by obama's demise?

in the polls? I work in an area that is predominately frequented by white, middle to upper cl, folks. In the past few months i've seen a lot more black, middle to upper cl families coming down and hanging out at the shops and restaurants. It's just a theory of mine that they felt like ,because Obama's achievement, that only then they could come down with heads held high. but this is just not the case. Of course, all people are welcomed there anytime....i guess the question is...are a lot black families carrying a false stigma or is this "stigma" actually a reality for them?
