Absolutely right. But, turn on the news and "today is a historic as the first African-American President is inaugurated."

While an educated person like many on this board understand the difference, I highly doubt someone that dislikes Obama for being black would say "oh, since he has some white in him, I guess he's ok."

Hell, my roommate's girlfriend said to me just a few weeks ago "well, Obama *is* a Muslim so I can see why some people are upset." Even in this day of the internet, some people's blatant ignorance is astounding to me.
