you both have points about obama ..

on the one hand, he does experience racism based on his skin color.

on the other hand, he was brought up in a very privileged manner, and doesn't have "american black" roots (the europeans-owned-african-slave-trade kind). he is "african american" in a different sense than the people who are here now because of slavery, and closer to an american culture now than to an african one.
