Obama has no connection to American blacks because his Black side (his father's ancestors) have not gone through slavery in America. His family was not a part of the American Civil rights era and he has not had to endure the same struggles and hardships as Blacks in America. Obama was raised by a WHITE family so he can NEVER relate to TRUE Black Americans who are of slave descent. In short he is Not one of us. I wish Black people would stop claiming him. We need a REAL Black president.

Alan Keyes ran for president. And he was a "real Black person" according to your definition. Not to mention that Obama is only half Black, and honestly I don't see him as "Black" anyway. He's like the Tiger Woods of politics. Though, he does play a fine game of basketball.
