I stress these points mainly because, in spite of Barack Obama's clear-cut qualifications to be president of the United States, many ignorant non-blacks are scrutinising his ability to effectively hold the post strictly on the basis of race. For some, the very notion of a black man claiming the highest political office of a so-called first-world country, even with his biracial genealogy, is a threat to every nefarious falsehood they've ever held about black people.
