In the Black World, Obama isn't even really considered "light Skinned"

Advertisements [?]

Hell, it's hard to even look at him and conclude that he is Mixed!
Nearly half of the Black population in the US are lighter than Obama.
In addition, Obama's features are clearly those of a Black man.
Further, Barack Obama married a brown skinned woman,
and is raising brown skinned children.

Barack Obama never ran away from his Blackness,
he went in search of it.

The fact that he can speak the King's English as well as being able to keep it real
is a good thing.
