That's a pretty complicated question, and I'm inclined to think his race had something to do with driving him to get where he was, but the guy was a dynamite speaker and had the right message at the right time.
If he'd been white, he might well not have gotten the nomination, but after W, and given the opposition, I don't think being black was as much of a positive factor in the general election. Hopey Changy was the winning message, just like Make America Great Again was the right message in 2016.
