He is more white than black. His father is mostly Arab. In fact the only black blood his father has is a great grandparent, on his mother’s side. That’s Obama’s great-great grandparent. That makes Obama 1/2 Caucasian, 7/16th Arab and a mere 1/16 black.

Unfortunately, those of similar skin tone will not even listen, much less acknowledge it.
You would think, since he didn’t grow up in the ‘black experience’ (did not come up through the civil rights movement, went to wealthy schools, etc.) that would make a difference, but it doesn’t. He can talk ‘black’ and he looks it - good enough for the black community and government work, evidently. Saw a focus group - most blacks are very disappointed in him, but still think his election (as First Black President by skin color .... sorry Slick Willy) is overall a good thing. Fairly sickening to see the color ‘blindness’ of a different sort ... not overlooking it, but using it as ‘the factor’ for excusing all the damage Obama has done and continues to wreak on the country.
