This is part of what I'm trying to grasp. Obama clearly isn't any of these things. He doesn't fit any racial stereotype ever associated with Black people--he's not a violent criminal, he's not a religious civil rights protester, or even the successful Black guy who marries a White woman. He's the Tiger Woods/Michael Jordan of the political world and still people hate him. This I'm trying to understand.
