    What?

    Thanks for the dumbest, most puerile article ever to appear in Salon.From the kente cloth reference to the claim he's not black,this article offended me on more levels than I can describe.This is what race politics has come to in this country? Obama may be too inexperienced, I grant,but believe me, the racists think he's black and the writer is way out of touch with reality.
