But we don't really have a black president any more than we have a white president and
the fact that no one will accept that is why America is racist.
Obama is the first bi-racial president.
People easily say Obama is black but struggle to comprehend that he is white.
People disown their own blood because they don't like the skin and hair appearance.
We can't keep calling Obama "black only" and claim that race relations have changed.
There is a reason why people don't want to call him white in any context whatsoever.
