I'm a white, female, disabled american. And this hate is a civillian thing. I didn't vote for our President because he is black, i voted for him because he is the best choice. All Racists and Reverse racists can kiss my ass, unless they want to take my place. Yeah, i didn't think so. America is a nation of many peoples, that IS what makes us strong.

Most white people think Obama is black you clown. Go and ask all the extreme right wing nutcases if they think Obama is mostly white.

Many white people do not recognise someone slightly tanned even as white. That system was perpetrated by white people in the past. Even eugenics was created to remove people who were not supposedly 'pure white'.

This was a great video... it would have been better however if you listed the names and the pics... I will be the first one to admit that I didn't know who everybody was but I would have like to have learned to further my own education and knowing... perhaps u can make the next one with names "pretty please" ;(

By white supremacy standards one drop of black blood made you a 'nigger' and was grounds to put you to the back of the bus... Obamas campaign has transcended the hatred of bigots and racist who's belief system supported this kind of thinking.. The thought of President Obama in the oval office shatters white supremacy into pieces.. why else would racist be up in arms about him being their President..lol Racist are going to be killing themselves because of the black president..Im praying for them

Obama's white, why is it automatically assumed he's black? If he were 100% black, NO white person would vote for him, ask Jesse. Do you honestly think he'd be where he is right now had he been raised by blacks? This is not some race relations victory, all it did was show the ignorance of blacks and how they decide to vote for someone "black". Most already knew the level of ignorance in most of the black community, this election just proved it. White supremacy still exists, sorry.
