Ok. I am tired of all the "black enough" talk. It's obvious Obama is black.

Dont you realize that to get elected he needs white votes as well? Claiming him as exclusively black when he is exactly as much white only serves to alienate the white vote. The truth is the black side of his family did NOTHING in his upbringing. it was his white mom that was abandoned by his black father who raised him and put him in elite schools. Isn't he really a case in point of what is wrong with the black community? I'm talking about millions of black babies without fathers. If you read "The Audacity of Hope" you know that his father showed up years later and gave him a basketball. What a kick in the nuts! Obama talks about how that affected him. He succeeded DESPITE his black side. He owes what he is today to his mother. Black people want to claim him as a black man. Why not call him what he is....an American. Why make it racial? Tiger Woods is another example. He's just as much Thai as he is black yet people just call him black. Tiger is also a great example of the level of greatness that can be achieved when you're father doesn't leave you. His father was a REAL man who took responsibility and guided his son through life. The point is whites were definitely exited about Obama, a man with two ethnicities. Who better to understand race relations? After we found out about his church, that was it for us. He is not objective. Why did Oprah leave Trinity church in 1998 but Barack stayed? Oprah wasn't pressured like him. The difference is she has a conscience. She knows right from wrong and left on her own accord. Barack must agree with what he heard for over 20 years. It was only because of his run for pres that he left. Otherwise he would still be there applauding all those racist statements. Some uniter he turned out to be. 90% of black democrats voted for Obama. 50% of white dems went for Hillary and about 40% for Obama. Who are the real racists? I thought Bill Clinton was "the first black pres". What happened to all that? Now blacks are accusing him of playing the race card. Blacks totally abandoned the Clintons in favor of a man who is partially black. I don't see 90% of white dems voting for Hillary. The vote on the white side is split. Whites thusly are more open-minded and don't vote for someone just because they're white like the blacks do for Obama. Imagine what blacks would say if 90%of whites voted Hillary. They'd be SCREAMING racism. Time to look at how racist you are my friend. Have a nice day.
