http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1584736,00.html Back in the real world, Obama is married to a black woman. He goes to a black church. He's worked with poor people on the South Side of Chicago, and still lives there. That someone given the escape valve of biraciality would choose to be black, would see some beauty in his darker self and still care more about health care and public education than reparations and Confederate flags is just too much for many small-minded racists, both black and white, to comprehend.
Barack Obama's real problem isn't that he's too white — it's that he's too black.
