I am biracial and for the most part, see this article as negative, not realistic. lpr1974--there is no way you have "NEVER ONCE did I thought about Obama being a 'black' man." That is over doing it, and one of the reasons african americans get annoyed. i dont believe your necessarily racist, but your trying to ignore the racism that exists in this country. David Matthews has had a tough childhood it seems with race and is one-sided himself saying that Obama is to 'white' and not 'black enough'. is that because he's educated? When is going to college going to be a black thing? If you ask me it already is! Matthew says Obama isn't black enough, but then goes into the fact that his father was Kenyan and his mother white, so his skin isn't light enough for white america. Matthew is not a talented writer sending mixed messages and enforcing racism by enforcing steryotyes, like because clinton liked fried chicken he's more black that obama. So being black is just fried chicked huh? Matthews should check what issues he has with racism from his past, and stop trying to inflict it on obama's hopeful presidency
