He's a biracial kid who grew up in a single parent home, mostly raised by his grand-parents.
What the hell do YOU know about the african american struggle.
As a matter of fact, what IS the african american struggle?
Did he need to grow up selling crack for you to be able to relate?
Lay off the rap music, buddy.
Didn't Obama come to the mainland in the 80's though?
No.
Just no.
Hawaii is a state. Miss me with the "mainland" comments.
Obviously there was racism then, there still is, but not as bad as before that. Growing up in Hawaii wouldn't the racism be a little different over on a tiny island filled with natives who hate white people?
SO?!
He's still a black man.
There is a range of experiences to be had, even in more liberal places like Hawaii. Does that matter?
And Indonesia, do they hate black people there? I'm asking you this no need to get crazy on me.
You've got me audibly cursing right now.
Are you serious?
Does it
matter if they "hate" black people?
I don't see how I said I knew what it was like to be African American.
Because you said he doesn't fit what you think of a black american.
All I said was I assumed it would be an African-American who was more familiar with Americas past time.
Whats america's past time?
How do you know that he's not?
Hes a black man who went to predominately white colleges in this country. He knows more than you do off that alone.
Had family who weren't allowed to drink out of the white persons fountain.
How do you know he didn't?
He's already born biracial.
Until 1967, his parents marriage would have been annulled in like 10+ states. Look up miscegenation laws.
On top of that, his mother remarried like at least one more time.
You know what fug it whatever go ahead and all you guys can think I'm an ignorant racist.
OK. I will. You're doing a great job of playing that role.
Maybe I'm ignorant, maybe we all are, maybe a lot, maybe a little.
Excuses.
Maybe it's not ignorance, just being misinformed.
Thats what ignorance is.

I don't care, either way y'all are some hostile *** holes.
Funny.
Tell me how black people should act again.
Everyone needs to live up to your expectations to qualify for the office of presidency, right?
His middle name is Hussein...OOOO...SCARY!
I know how I treat others and its far from being racist.
Why don't you just tell us that your best friend is black?
I know I'll say thank you to who ever holds the door for me whether their black, brown, Asian, whatever.
There it is.
Close enough.
But I will continue to be worried about whether or not its true about the type of people Obama was accused to be associated with in this documentary....
I can accuse you of sharing the bus with a white supremacist, does that make it true?
How come we don't look at Romney's mormon cult and his distant relatives in Mexico?
Seeing that none of you helped me understand whether or not he was or wasn't associated with those people.I will go try to figure that out myself.
He wasn't associated with the people in the manner that was made about to be true.
For instance, everything being asserted is a result of these fallacies:
So I will leave it at that and let you guys continue to call me an ignorant racist.
