n the waning days of President Barack Obamas administration, he and his wife, Michelle, hosted a farewell party, the full import of which no one could then grasp.

Obomba is as much white as he is black. Why doesn’t he claim his privilege by claiming to be white?
I seem to recall that his Kenyan ancestors may have been involved in selling slaves.
While I know I can’t possibly speak for Ireland or the Irish: Kenya can have all of him as far as I’m concerned.
Why does anyone post this kind of drivel?
We've come a long way, baby!
BACKWARDS....
His president may have been ‘black’, but the author must have had rose-colored glasses super glued to his face to write what was in this worshipful piece regarding Obama. Everything else is laid at the feet of ‘racism’ ... Tea Party, Trump’s win, anything thought/said by a white person ....
He’s an enemy islamist.
Prediction: Barack Hussein Obama will be the LAST black President of the Republic.
Insufferable. But illuminating in that this guy, who clearly knows absolutely nothing about what might be required of a great President, enjoyed several intimate, informal, and off-the-record meetings with the President, not to mention partying with him at the White House. This is the same President that never met with Mike Flynn during his fiveyear term as head of defense intelligence.
I doubt he thinks as highly of a fellow brother, Clarence Thomas.
Author mentions “brown paper bag test”. The only time I’ve heard of this actually in use was by Atlanta’s black high society. They won’t have anything to do with the really dark ones. But Ta-Neeshie, in spite of his color meeting your standards, he has been a lousy president.
There are many self-described African-Americans that are so white in facial features with light skin in the celebrity industry they could pass for white. Why they don't celebrate their Caucasian ancestry that built the World is beyond me. I would be proud of both. But some people just need to play the aggrieved black card. It tells me something about their self-esteem.
Also, when was the last time you heard Asians complain, riot, demand reparations? The Chinese were practically slave labor in building the western rail roads plus other industries and services. Personally, I respect Asians even above Caucasians for their work ethic to this day.
They forego the stupid "feel good" humanity classes in college and study hard in Math, Engineering, and Sciences and they excel. Good for them, unless they are Chinese foreign exchange students who take their degrees home to China. Those who don't, add to our way of life.
Serious question: When did oriental become a derogatory term? I missed that memo. It was not derogatory when I was growing up with the Japanese in Gardena, CA.
He must be referring to Mugabe.
Looks like Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream has has crashed in flames and and is just a heap of burning, smoldering wreckage.

So true. How sad.
See who wrote it? a White-hating racist.
He’s Halfrican.
The ONLY thing Obama has accomplished for his black race is he became their first black president. He has done nothing since and evidently that is the only thing they wanted, beyond that, nothing.
