Butch Femme Planet - View Single Post - President Obama: Policy, Presidency, and Person

I was looking around for a thread specifically to talk about President Obama's policies, articles about him, things he is doing in the Presidency, etc. and there wasn't one, so here it is.

I read this article talking about President Obama identifying himself as Black on the Census and what his Presidency has meant to systems of race in this country.

I do remember Toni Morrison referring to Bill Clinton as a "Black President" and this article examines that and why many folks saw President Obama as more "white".
Thoughts?
