Why is Obama labeled the first african american President?

web_trace asked:


How about we leave race, heritage and culture out of the Presidency?

Otherwise, lets label all the Presidents by their heritage and make them out to be the first, second, or third in their respective categories.

It’s sad when you can’t just call yourself an American President. You divide people by saying Obama is the first african american President. You want to unite the country, forget about labels and move on.

      True…the media and some of the radical people are peddling that. I think to intimidate and scare people.

      I really don’t care about the color or religion of the President…it is policy and actions that are important!

      Of course that would be ideal if we didn’t have a persistent prejudiced population that instantly discredits someone based on the color/tone of their skin.

      I think you’re just being the typical racist and can’t stand to acknowledge any major advancements and successes by black men. I hope it just kills you to know inside that you now have a black man as your leader.

      The fact that he IS the first Black president.

      He was elected by his perceived ability and leadership by all ethnicity voters, not based on his skin color.

      But the fact remains, he IS the first black president of the USA, and has made history.

      It is sad.

      But you can’t deny that race/ethnicity plays a major role in your country.

      You guys will never really be united as one.

      Most of you are too ignorant to see that America’s greatest weakness is division ((RACISM))

      Please believe that your supposed enemies know this and will use it to their advantage everybloodytime!
