It not about shutting out other voters, it is about, at the bare minimum, acknowledging the black vote and not taking it for granted. And Oabma being elected President will give white America another reason to deny the fact that there is still institutional and social racism. They will believe that since there is black president then the justice system is working well, corporations do not hire based on zip codes and names, and all black people should pull themselves up by their boot straps despite the fact the majority of white America is living one or two pay checks away from poverty.

Obama is just another politician, who happens to be black, that thrives on the ignorance of the American electorate who believes that the government has their best interest in mind.
