Remember, people consider Obama black when in reality he’s just as white as he is black. One just has to look at the massive variety of shades of skin color that we associate with “African-American” compared to “African” to realize there was lots of mixing.
Had Obama been born a generation earlier, he would not, in fact, have been able to choose which water fountain to drink at. It is in that sense that people correctly assess that he is black. It is a social construct, not a biological one.
