   	Perhaps you can answer a question I have had for some time now   
   regarding the hating of Obama because he is black:   
      
   	If Obama is half white and half black, how can you say their dislike of   
   him is due to the black half unless they have said it is??  It could be   
   they dislike him because of his white half.   
      
   	If you have any quotes by someone you cite above that answers my   
   question, please post the quotes below.
