We all have struggles no matter what our race is. Everyone keeps forgetting this man is half white. He’s being hailed as the first black president, well he s white too. Has everyone overlooked that on purpose? That could be taken as an insult to the white people if we wanted to make an issue, which I’m sure we would if we were black to start with,

Dont play ignorant.One drop of African blood in America makes you Black. Tha tcame from the slave system set up in America early history. I find it interesting that some of you dont know .You may see him how you will, but according to the American definition of race he is Black .
