Why does people always talk about Obama that he is the black president?

Is it just me, I feel like half black half white people always just get labeled as black, even though they're just as black as they are white.

Maybe there are certain advantages by identifying as a black person?

@Scarlett He found comfort in hating the white within him. If he denied the white then he could consider himself good as he felt whites were bad.

@curiosi why hate any race? There are racist white people in this world just like there are racist black people, it's their mindset/actions and stuff that makes them bad, not their race.

@Scarlett Exactly! Which is one of the reasons many of us don't like Obama. He was extremely racist!

@MalteseFalconPunch Why does race matter though? I really don't care if the president is black or white or any other color, as long as he or she is a good president.

@MalteseFalconPunch second non completely white president is Trump, he's half orange.
Because his appearance is black, and because the existence of racism made having a black president a very big and important milestone.
Such a milestone shouldn't have to exist, but it does. Obviously there are many other good things that he brought to his presidency. But it was really awesome that the USA broke that barrier.

@AmbivalentFriability He did nothing good: Solyndra was a fiasco that caused a lot of people to lose jobs, he gave Iran billions and they continued their nuclear aspirations, job rate tanked, stock market was stagnet. The piece of shit did nothing good and his racist sidekick is now your president elect. Good luck with that.

It's about appearance- since racism depends a lot on it. What matters is whether you're white-passing or not and Obama isn't.
