Is anyone else offended by obama?

Question

i am a big obama supporter, but one thing confuses me. he is as much white as he is black..he was raised by his white mother, and met his black father once, so it could be argued that he is culturally closer to the white race. he is always called the black candidate, but truly he is the black/white candidate. still making history, why can't people acknowledge more often that he is also white?

still going to hope to h**l that he is elected and not McCain

Answer 1

its his clolor

he is black

Answer 2

Because he's been influenced by racists that hate white people for no reason, jeremiah wright, pfghleger, malcom x, on and on.  He even wrote about this in his first book. People are so easily decieved by this dude. Talk about hoodwinking some folks. If people really wanna know the truth all they gotta do is look at the facts and not be so ignorant. d**n, Martin Luther King is rollin in his grave.

Answer 3

He isn't the one making an issue of his race.

Answer 4

I think he is just proud to be have black in him and be the first black (regardless of being mixed or not he still has black in him...making history) to run and potentially win the 2008 Presidential Elections.  

Answer 5

even though he may have white, i think people think hes more black cuz he married black and has black kids. if he married a white women and had white kids i think they would have emphasized on his "whiteness" more.

if hes calling himself a black man, then he obviously feels more black than white so whats the problem?

Answer 6

what's your point?if he called himself a black man(which he is)why should that offend you?his color has nothing to do with the fact that americans deserve and need a president other than mccain.

Answer 7

yeah hes not the one blabbing his trap about it. what does it matter what ppl acknowledge him as. it wont change any thing about how he will do as our next president. its a lable.  

Answer 8

In any mixed ethnicity one prevails as the identity.  Most Black Americans have mixed ethnicity in their family tree.  It's completely appropriate for him to identify with black America.  I'm sure he was treated by white americans as such.  

From my point of view it doesn't matter what ethnicity he is.  As he said the other night he's American.  Kenyan American, or like anyone else, Asian, Italian, who cares what color his skin is.   I want to judge him on the content of his character and ideas - Thank you Dr. King.  

I'm voting for McCain, but I applaud Obama's nomination and am more pleased that diversity of thought is in the end going to be the answer to this election.  For the record this is going to be one of the most exciting races of our lifetimes.  Enjoy each moment.  

Obama made a gutsy call to fill that stadium the other night.  Nobody can take that away.  Even dems questioned him.  Great call, impressive night.  I'm even more enthused about Palin.  It was a genius call on McCain's part, and also risky.  These guys are both incredibly smart and for the first time in a long time we have candidates for president that have rational thought capability and don't need to parade the day's vocabulary words in their press conferences as if the rest of the country doesn't know what attrition, or prerequisite means!
