Southern senator: ‘My people’ dislike Obama because he is too ‘exotic’

30. Although not PC

This statement was probably a true statement for many and that's sad but honest.

I know prior to 2008 I thought we might see a non white male president sometime in my life but probably after i was 50+.

As a black male I admit I take great pride in obamas election for many like me that believed in his ability to win the presidency fighting with our parents who were solid democrats and were sodding with Hillary in the primary solely because the never beloved he could win the general I got in to a big emotional argument with my father. He told me I was crazy but then once he won the presidency I felt we crossed a corner as a black community .

But back to the people that call him exotic. He is to them never in their life could they have seen a black man being president let alone a mixed race man who built an amazing political machine that straight steamrolled their beloved GOP.
