The Kenyan doesn't get America's Anglo-Saxon heritage. Romney does.

[Danno 1,228]

I would imagine Obama loves the Anglo-saxon heritage and what it produces more than the Kenyan model.

Put the pieces together here.

What has Kenya done for him? His Kenyan Dad bailed in short order and only visited him for like ten minutes in the airport once (they had to go to him)

and one would presume leaving no means of support for his kid.

DId the Kenya model step in and raise the child-obama? No his "typical" White Grand parents.

Did the Kenyan people put him thought school or did the Anglo-saxon (as you put it) model?

Did Kenyans give him a preferences and leg up on others in his college years?

The only blessing they bestowed upon him was the appearance of having African American heritage which is false. He has no connection to African Americans Either by heritage or by experience.

I'd bet that I (and many of us here ) had much more connection to the African American community than he ever did......yet he benefits from his appearance.

You could even go so far as to say it was the country and system built in part by Anglo-Saxons who even made his existence possible, I bet anything his Father was over here getting a tax payer funded education making possible the meeting of his parents.

YEah, Obama talks about Kenya but trust me a visit or two is all the appetite he has for the place.

Yes, his wife is white, so are his kids. You're totally right.

Doesn't the Irish part count for anything?

Depends which side of Hadrian's Wall his ancestors were standing on.

I think you are correct in that Camp Romney really stuck their feet right into their big mouths....

He met his wife in College, again I would bet most of us had a closer connection to the AA community in our formative years than he did.

Of course he has a sweet connection now but his preferential treatment was based on a past heritage of wrongs done to his fore fathers.

He has no historical connection to those wronged.

There are people on here who claim to be nationalities "by injection," so couldn't it be said of Obama as well? Does he have to be the injector? Am I getting too crass?

True story. My best buddy from high school brought home a girl to meet his parents. They asked her, "Well, are you Jewish?" She responded, "Only by injection." That was the first I heard that phrase used, many decades ago.

This is the first I have heard it.

You need to spend more time in the regionals.

A lot of your thoughts are based on "I bet" and no facts. Opinion is not fact. You have made it very clear that you don't understand the African American community many times. Being mixed race and being married to a black woman is very different than you getting in the elevator with someone black at work.

You don't know his entire family tree, stop acting like you know everything.

What a ridiculous comment. So he's a middle class black man, so what?

Do you honestly believe that all black people must share a singular 'black experience' in order to be authentic?

That's as a dumb a thing as I've ever read, not to mention being pretty racist.

He does this frequently unfortunately.

Everyone wants to criticize Obama and democrats for being divisive. If those statements aren't the definition of divisive, I don't know what is.

There was no question there.
