The Question: is Barack Obama Black Enough?

The Answer: NO

Donnell Russell
The question has been floating around since Obama spoke at the 2004 Democratic convention. Until the January 21, 2008 debate it (question) had at least been confined to the barbershops, beauty shops and bars where the merits could be debated with the consideration such a question deserves. However, during an official democratic primary debate, in what used to be a serious country, a "journalist" framed a sideways question about whether or not Bill Clinton was the first black president. Clearly this is now important enough an issue for me to way in on. Oh, it isn't Iraq, the economy or health care, but it is up there.

So here it is:

Barack Obama is NOT Black Enough.
