jungefran...The RAP "culture" does not get accused of not being black enough. They seem to be what is expected of blacks and I think it is wrong. I would vote for Condi Rice AS IS - not if she embraced the rap scene.
Why don't blacks like blacks who act normal and not thug-like? NOT ALL - this is a generalization.

Interesting & thought provoking question...I haven't heard anything negative about him from "black America" but it's still early days. You are right though, I've heard blacks call Condolezza Rice "white chocolate" which I don't get, she paid her dues like others did so I don't see where she should be put down for not being "black" enough. Ignorance doesn't need to have a color.

He potential politically, it relatively is the context wherein ferraro made the comments. That Obama reward "politically" from being black. no longer suffering regularly. Mccain being a prisoner of conflict isn't a honest assessment interior the political experience. Its suffering, that's for specific, even with the undeniable fact that it does not harm mccain politically, if something it helps. What obama meant replaced into being a black guy named barack obama does not earnings him politically. His call certainly does not. basically study down via yahoo solutions and seem in any respect the questions approximately suspicion of him being muslim because of the fact of his call, some going as far to signify he's a terrorist because of the fact of it. i'm not sure how lots being black helps or does not help him, yet having the call barack hussein obama specific does not help him, interior the political experience. Being elected. It has no longer something to do with suffering regularly..

Clinton was "black" enough.
You obviously believe that skin color is important to match your definition of black. That is pretty racist.
Without pushing race into the question, you could have simply asked, "As a voting block, do you believe that blacks support Barack Obama and his policies or do they feel that he is lacking answers on black issues?"
Ice Cube may be "black" enough in his manner and demeanor, that doesn't mean that he would get every black vote if he ran for office. He can't rap to victory. Blacks, just like everyone else, want a candidate that they feel will improve their situation, regardless of skin color.

I'm not exactly sure that either one of us is truly qualified to speak for black America. If you re referring to the Senatorial race in which Senator Obama defeated the only black republican they could find to run in Illinois, the bats**t crazy Alan Keyes, the issue wasn't who was "blacker." It was who wasn't "an idiot." Obama won by a huge margin, you may remember.
Maybe we shouldn't judge our candidates by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

My question to you is, what blacks do you know that have told you he wasn't black enough? Probably none. I have never heard anyone call Collin Powell or Condoleeza Rice black deficient. It seems like you don't think he is black enough since he doesn't fit your predetermined stereotype of a black person. This is a great example of the new subtle racism that is alive in the US.

He's Black enough for me. The question is, is America ready for a Black Prez? I know people of color in this country are. I believe this countries diplomatic relations would definitely improve with other countries.

Obama seems to be well received all around. As for your question "is he black enough?", he looks Black to me. What is your definition of "black" because you don't seem to be speaking of complexion?

Ah yes, but you see, if he happened to be an exceptionally "black" black man, then someone would have something negative to say about that!

I don't know. Maybe some med school can Analise his skin to see if the melanin concentration is high enough.
