Hanging out with Bernie Sanders: it turns out that standing FOR something is a lot more politically important than merely standing AGAINST Trump

I don’t think you’re an ass, because I’ve been reading your posts for quite some time. But the above is an asinine statement. In American terms, Barrack Obama is black, period. I’m not going to go into a history and culture lesson, and I think you already know that stuff. But taken by itself, really, I think the above statement is quite, well, off-color, for lack of a better turn of phrase. Heh?

But really, you think a lot of people voted for him who wouldn’t have, if his mother had been black? I really just don’t see that as a “mitigating factor” that bought him more votes. Maybe I’m mistaken, but again, Barack Obama is a black man, period, his wife is black, his kids are black, they are a black family. To even slightly imply that he is “less black” is, well, ridiculous.
