  • Thanks for posting this. It angers me that for decades someone was "black" with just one drop of African blood but now that a man has ascended to the presidency people suggest he's not. To my racist white colleagues (yes, I am white): you can't have it both ways. Wake up and smell the coffee, coffee with cream, coffee without. When I voted for him Barack Obama was black. And though he is still black, he is representing me as a fellow American.
