Holy fuck. Centrists are so goddamned desperate to run with their "we have to shut out AOC because the US is racist (until she's no longer a threat to our hegemony)" narrative that they're pretending Obama isn't Black.

I remember whites saying he was too black, poc saying he was too white, and leftists saying he's too corporate.

I remember centrists calling Bill Clinton the "first black president." Guess they don't want to give up the title.

Omg I don't remember that. The real oppression, amirite?! 🤦‍♀️

Obama has a white mother, and was raised by her exclusively in a city that is less than 3% black. Eminem is blacker than Obama.

Double down more. It illustrates my point.
