Barak Obama elected 44th president of America and change has come to America. First African American leader become president of United State.Then you have seen the headlines "Are Americans ready for black resident?" ,"Is Obama black enough?"Obama: America's first black president?".Ever since the nation first met Illinois Sen.Barak Obama in 2004,his race has been called in to questions more times michael Jackson's.Obama is clearly black man, but is this really breakthrough?.Some black say Obama is not 'BLACK ENOUGH'.which sems ironic fopr many blacks,former president Bill Clinton was 'black enough'.In 2001 Cliton was honoured as nation.s "first black
president"at the Congressional Black Caucus{cbc}annual awards Dinner in Washington, D.C.
Were there other black presidents?some historians have reason to believe people really dont understand the genealogy of past U.S. presidents.Research shows that atleast five U.S.presidents had black ancestors and Thomas Jefferson the nations third president ws considered as the first black president according to historian Leroy Vaughn author of Black People And Their PLaces In World History..
So who must considred as America's first black president 1]Barak Obama..2}Bill Cliton ..3]Thomas Jefferson...

I consider obama to be black since he has brown color skin but those who disagree with me would tell you is because he didn't grow up in the ghetto. They would say it is because he has a white mother or that he doesn't speak slang. Obama is the first person who has a brown skin color to be president of the United States. I say its not about having ancestors who are black but having a different skin color when it comes to the award.
