Umm.... Black President??

Lately, I have been reading and hearing a lot of stuff about Obama and the victory that Blacks faced when Obama was elected..

Many people will go hard and say that Obama is Black.. no ifs, ands, or buts about it.. Now, I am not here to down any one's opinion or lesser another's views. I am here to simply voice my opinion.

In my opinion, Obama is not Black. Yes, I voted for Obama. I did not vote for him because of the color of his skin. In fact, at one point, I was not going to vote for him. I voted for him because McCain was the worst candidate. McCain's personality and choices made him lose a vote with me. And, although, I don't agree with everything that Obama stands for, I do agree more with him than McCain.

But back to it.. Obama skin color had no influence on my vote.

But there are some Americans who voted for Obama simply for his skin color. In my opinion, Obama is not Black. He have a white mother and an African father; of which, the later was not influential in his life. He was raised by his white grandmother. Although, Obama skin was a lil darker, he grew up in white society.

Plus, I am just going to through this out here, but his name also raises a couple of questions with me.. His middle name is Hussein.. I know of one other Hussein... Sadam.. And we all know what he did. His last name... Obama.. Is pretty close to Osama.... And we all know what he did.. And just to mention.. Was Osama or Hussein Black??

But enough with that tyrant...

Everyone is going hard with Obama because he is Black, but Obama have went against a couple of Blacks. He went against Bernie Mac when he did his stand up in a majority white filled room and he went against his ex-Pastor.

Also I have not been all up in Obama's mouth so I don't know every word that he spoke, but have he ever classified himself as Black verbally? Have he ever said, in some words, 'I am a Black man'? To me, in my opinion, him classifying himself as Black would be an insult to his grandmother that raised him.

Now I am not saying that Obama is not part Black, but most people are putting a lot of emphasis on his skin color when in fact.. It is not even the whole case...

But these are only my opinions...
