Is Obama Black Enough?
The Black Informant addresses the "question that will never die":
When Obama first announced his candidacy for POTUS, it was liberals who kept asking the question “Is he Black enough?” Then somewhere down the road he became ‘officially’ Black. I’ve always dismissed the whole thing as silly because while the actual brown paper bag test is something that has been abandoned years ago, I still believe that it something that has morphed itself into more of a mental exercise in this day and age.
As always, read the whole thing. And do yourself a favor and bookmark him. Lots of good stuff there, just keep scrolling.

There's a funny moment in the (remarkably prescient, if otherwise not so funny) movie Head of State, where a magazine called "Dark Skin" ran a cover of Chris Rock's candidate with the caption "Is He Too Pale?"
