In a country long divided by race, Barack Obama argues that Americans generally have been colorblind in judging him. Yet old racial stereotypes and Internet-fueled falsehoods flourish about the first black president.
In Obama's first two months in office, a New York tabloid took heat over a cartoon appearing to portray the president as a monkey; a California mayor resigned after distributing a picture of watermelons on the White House lawn; and an e-mail making the rounds refers to Obama as "the magic mulatto," with exaggerated ears and nose.
Disproved and disputed claims about his religion and citizenship, namely untruths that Obama is a Muslim and isn't U.S.-born, zip across chatrooms and dominate the blogosphere. Fringe critics largely are responsible for perpetuating the lies, but even elected officials have raised them.

So, have the authors of this seen his birth certificate ?
For starters, he is only half-black at most, no matter who his daddy is.
So, have the authors of this seen his birth certificate ?
Must have, not to mention all those church records, school documents, etc. proving he has been a regular Sunday-go-to-meeting type.
No. They just buy his line of BS, hook, line and sinker

And a gay crack whore, to boot.
I know. Only in libtards’ and Rev. Al’s imaginations was it referring to Ears. Why would the Post insult a chimp that way?
Did the author say WHAT "falsehoods" were flourishing? (Yes, I'm too lazy to go read it...)
;)
“For starters, he is only half-black at most, no matter who his daddy is.”
There are lots of dark skinned people who would produce a child with his skin tone who are *not* “black”.
I wouldn’t bet $5 on what race his daddy was.
I was going to tear this apart but by the time I got to the third paragraph I realized it would take all night and MOST Freepers know these things already.
Total, utter birdcage lining.
If I were a moderator I would remove this rank garbage.
One thing this guy has going for him, he was the first President in the history of the office we knew (and know) less about than any other to hold it. Most people on the street know more about Bristol Palin’s vagina than this BHO guy. Exactly as the far-left, America & Conservative-hating media wanted it, and why it remains so scary.
and ironically, ‘chimp’ was Bush’s #1 nickname....so now it is offensive?
Me neither, but It seems as if he is getting lighter on some of the magazine covers at the checkout...Not enough time out in the sun at the free rock concerts?
Barack Obama is so white, he makes Dave Chappelle look like Paul Mooney.
disrespecting a president is now so whacky and unpatriotic. During the Bush administration it was the brave and patriotic thing to do. Now with Obama, you have to be some kind of f-ing American-hating kook not to worship the ground Obama walks on. How dare someone criticize him!
“In Obama’s first two months in office, ...and an e-mail making the rounds refers to Obama as “the magic mulatto,” with exaggerated ears and nose.”
Write this down in your little journalism books:
Obama with exaggerated ears and nose - RACIST!
Bush with exaggerated ears and nose - HILARIOUS!
The only racists are the poverty pimping Obama and his gang of rabble rousing commie dirtballs.
Somebody posted shots of his various stages of “tan lines”.
He is, in his “raw state” a rather ashen/grayish-beige color.
I see lots of little biracial kinds at Wal-Mart and have yet to see one with that peculiarly strange skin tone.
His alleged father was seriously and truly ~black~.
Of all the variations of biracial couples I’ve seen, I have NEVER seen a man that dark produce a child that light.
It’s a mystery.
My guess would be Arabic or possibly Cuban...but hey, what do I know?
I’m just a devout observer of the human race....:)
