If being black (or at least not entirely white) were such a huge advantage, why is Barrack Obama the first non-white nominated for president?
The notion that he's an "affirmative action" candidate is clearly racist. You are in effect dismissing his talents and accomplishments on the basis of race.
This is even more preposterous coming from supporters of Hillary Clinton, who probably wouldn't have been in a position to run for presidnet at all were it not for her husband.
Only a Republican troll would be sheltered enough to actually claim that Obama's blackness helped him in this primary.
