Quick Question

Why do pundits insist on questioning whether or not Barack Obama is "black enough"? As if Obama's "blackness" hasn't impacted him every single day of his life, including having people question his authenticity as a black man because he was "clean and articulate". This is such bullshit on so many levels.

Are you angry because people question if you're white enough? Is that it? All kidding aside, I agree.

note that this question comes from the mainstream media and liberals. you know, the "tolerant" ones.

The conservatives are too busy claiming that Hillary and Obama are "affirmative-action" candidates. Because, you know, we had to have one chick and one black dude. To make it fair. The white candidates all DESERVE to run, because we live in a meritocracy!

Hey, and as far as me being "white enough", don't hate on my struggles. Just the other day the woman at the nail place asked me if I was mixed. It gets so old.
