    Holy fuck. Centrists are so goddamned desperate to run with their “we have to shut out AOC because the US is racist (until she’s no longer a threat to our hegemony)” narrative that they’re pretending Obama isn’t Black.

      Obama has a white mother, and was raised by her exclusively in a city that is less than 3% black. Eminem is blacker than Obama.

        I remember centrists calling Bill Clinton the “first black president.” Guess they don’t want to give up the title.
