If it’s so good to be white, why does Barrack Obama identify as black?

His whole life he identified as being black and he went through law school, became a successful member of society, then became a US senator, then ultimately president.

All while being black. So much for that whole white privilege thing, right?

Why did he change his name 30 times?

I think a better example would be Warren.

Why was she so keen on tricking university admissions into thinking she was a minority? You know... systemic racism, cultural biases, blah, blah...

I’m not saying white people are better, but being white is clearly better! Who can even argue with that?
If it was an option I would re-up every year!

If any black has half a brain, there are many "legitimate" perks to being a "minority". Obama has half a brain and took full advantage. Also, he leaned heavily on the heartstrings and "guilt" of stupid white people. I hate him, but credit to him.

Barry only identifies as black when it’s advantageous. When it comes to things like finding a neighborhood to live in, clubs to join, he’s white.

The black genes are strong....believe it takes multiple generations of breeding with whites only before your offspring is not considered black.

Good question. And not just the former President, practically all half black/half white people.

They are most often the ones you hear screaming the loudest.

There is no way in the world he would have gotten into the Ivy League if he put 'white' on the application.

sounds like the old "one drop" rule

He is as much white, why does his white half get short shrift?

Yes warren is clearly just a white lady. If this guy identified as a white guy he’d have been laughed away.

Wrong! He never went to law school... at least that is what all the faculty and his graduating class say.

White privilege is not what he has, he has always had DS CIA privilege.

He was renouncing his white privilege.
