Black Enough Obama?

I found the below portion of a Rolling Stone article titled: 'Destiny's Child' rigorously poignant. The precedent point in the article was with Obama's preliminary polls wherein women, nearly all of them white, responded more intensely and warmly than did men.

"There is an amazing candid moment in Obama's autobiography when he writes of his childhood discomfort at the way his mother would sexualize African-American men. "More than once," he recalls, "my mother would point out: 'Harry Belafonte is the best looking man on the planet.'"
What the focus groups his advisers conducted revealed was that Obama's political career now depends, in some measure, upon a tamer version of this same feeling, on the complicated dynamics of how white women respond to a charismatic black man."
