>Obama's father was black, but his mother was "white." That makes him "black" by U.S. racial standards, but it's a pretty weird convention, isn't it?
Yes, but that's the only sense in which anyone is white or Black, weird convention. Given that, his Blackness is not in question.
>And, really, you don't think that Obama gets a break from liberals and leftists because of his blackness? There's just no question about it. You think Charles would be blanketing the Internet with apologetics for John Kerry?
I have no idea, but I do remember the Clinton years and I recall a whole lot of apologizing going on, some of it even justified.
