What? For real? Because he's black, half black, or part white? YGTBSM.

That's like saying the Truthers are prejudiced against people that fly black helicopters - maybe they are racist for painting helicopters black (bad attempt at sarcastic humor).

I'm sure there are people that cling to this out of racism, just as there are people that voted for him because he's black, half black, or part white. There are people that voted for him solely because they hoped it would move the country beyond the racial demons that have been deteriorating over the past decades.

A lot of people hold the presidential qualification to a very high standard which allows some people wittingly and unwittingly to hijack that. But that's OK, keep telling yourself its because of race.
