Do Democrats consider Obama black, white, or both?
Personally I consider him black. I think most Republicans do too. It seems that Obama and his liberal supporters are downplaying that hes actually black. Like how many times does he talk about inner city or black problems? Hes worried about the Middle East and other stuff. Is he denying his blackness?

+++"Who is Barack Obama? – A Terrifying Analysis
Then, D’Sousa read Obama’s book, Dreams from my Father. D’Sousa discovered that indeed, Obama has nothing to do with Black America. He never sat at a segregated lunch counter nor was he descended from slaves. His Dad was an educated immigrant from Kenya and his Mom was white from Kansas. His is not an American dream. He has no understanding or sympathy for American exceptionalism. In fact, he resents the concept.
So, what is Obama’s dream? He tells us very explicitly that his dream is his father’s dream. Obama Sr. was raised in Kenya. In his 20‘s, he married a Black woman in Kezia, had two children by her, and while she was pregnant with the second, he left his family and went to Hawaii as a student. He there met Obama’s Mom – Stanley Ann, married her and before Obama Jr. was age two also left her. He then went to Harvard where he took up with a third woman, took her back to Africa and had two children by her. At the same time he reunited with his first wife, from Kezia, and had two more children with her. In total he had four wives, usually two at the same time, and 8 children and with no sense of obligation and nor did he supply care for any of them.
Obama Sr. was a chronic alcoholic who had multiple driving accidents. He kills a man in one, in another hurts himself so badly his two legs have to be cut off and replaced with iron rods. Nevertheless, his courtship style remains intact. He takes up with another woman who bears his eighth child, George Obama.
In summary – he was quite an unusual role model for President Obama! Later, Obama Jr’s sister took him to task and demanded how could he admire this despicable man who had abandoned all his wives and children, never gave them a dime or even paid them a visit. Obama Jr., in fact, barely knew him since his Dad had visited him only once, when he was about 10 years old. Consequently, Sr. had no direct influence upon Jr.
That influence was wielded by Obama Sr.’s first convert – Jr’s mother, Stanley Ann Obama. Obama’s mother was an only child. She grew up in Kansas and somehow became a bohemian rebel against her parents and her country. Despite her marriage and rapid abandonment by Obama’s father, she refused to learn from her experience. She finds and marries another third world, anti-American guy, Lolo Satora, He was Indonesian and grew up under the colonial Dutch. Satora wooed Stanley Ann Obama with stories of Indonesian colonialism, married her and took her and her son, Jr. to live in Indonesia.
By a quirk of fate and bad luck for the American people, the Indonesian husband becomes more pro Western, pro American, and anti Communist. He signs up with an oil company and fights against Indonesian rebels in his own countryside. Ann then attacks him as a traitor to the greater cause and quickly sends Jr. back to Kansas to be raised by her parents and escape the pro-American thinking of the Indonesian husband. She remains in Indonesia the rest of her life.
Obama’s father, Obama Sr.. was basically an anti-Colonialist – the dominant idea in the third world of the 20th Century. The simple core of this idea was that the world is divided into two – the colonizers or oppressors and the colonized or victims. The colonizers used to be Europe, Britain, France and now it is America in this line of thought. Furthermore, the rich got rich only by looting the colonized and even when they left, powerful economic forces remained in a position of exploitation. Banks, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, oil companies and anyone else that happens to make money are simply now the economic wing of colonialism still into exploitation. And, who to Barack Obama, Jr. is the lead elephant and current exploiter? Why we are, of course.
How is Obama to deal with us, the problem? First, bring us under the rod of the Federal government. Obama’s father in 1965 wrote an article in an East African journal saying how this should be done. Bring down all the rich guys by the power of the state, confiscate their land, property, raise taxes as high as you want – 100% if necessary, and obtain their wealth through fiat and legislative piracy. The rationale is that the wealth is not rightfully theirs, in the first place, but had been ripped off from the poor .
That is Dinesh D’Souza’s basic hypothesis. So, Obama far from being a multi-culture guy, far from being the first African American president, is actually the first anti-American, anti-colonialism president and driven by that mind-set!
At this point it's in everyone's best interests to see Obama as an individual and make race as much of a non-issue as possible. As a symbol he once represented a big step forward for civil rights as the historic first black President. Policy wise he just isn't that great. Both his foreign and domestic policies are no better than Bush's were. He should be judged only by his performance as President.
But if anyone is still lame enough to play the race card, they should know that if you trace Obama's ancestry on his mother's side it turns out he is a descendant of a Maryland plantation owner named Maureen Duvall who owned 18 slaves. That also makes Obama a distant cousin of Dick Cheney. Your average Irish-American is more likely to be a descendant of a plantation slave in early America than Obama.
Edit; @AutumnWynd777. Very impressive. You obviously believe in speaking from an informed position. Tip of the hat to you!
I don't judge people in those terms.
The sociologists who created the idea of race later regretted it, and felt it was a very poor idea, not because of the results, but because it isn't an accurate way to divide up the varieties of mankind.
So I follow their lead.
Wish the rest of the world did.
I consider him the President of the United States.
Obama is 1/2 white and 1/2 arab. There is nothing black about Obama. Was Anwar Sadat black...no... and he looks a lot like Obama from the same region.
Neither. We consider him the President of the United States.
Did Republicans consider Bush white, or did they somehow not even consider the question?
I consider him a human being and an American
The consider him a victim of an unfair Society that needs to be changed.
Democrats don't consider Obama's race that much. Democrats just consider Obama as the president. Republicans place too much significance on race. That's why they keep getting accused of racism.
he a socialist first. i consider him black bc he d still from any white man to give to his cause
