I'd think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would disagree. Obama was a legitimate candidate for this office. The black vote alone did not elect him.
My family is caucasian as far back as I can imagine and we voted Obama. And one of the reasons I voted for him is his skin color. If I can recognize that America needs to look beyond the color of a person's skin, black people certainly can.
