HuffPo Celebrates Obama's Blackness

Because for the left, skin color is the most important quality in a president.

Voices Culture Writer for The Huffington Post Zeba Blay put together "The 11 Blackest Moments in the Obama Presidency" as a tribute to the U.S.'s first (half) African-American president.

First up was a moment very popular with black activists on social media. It was when President Obama was attempting to answer CNN's Jim Acosta who was asking why the U.S. can't just take out ISIS ("the bastards") days after the November Paris terrorist attacks.

Obama said, via a GIF Blay provided:

Saying, "pop off" shows how "unapologetically black" the president is, Blay adds.

She praised Obama for being able to us the n-word and get away with it because he used it "in context." Blay also loves the fact that "Obama has mastered the art of code-switching that so many black people have to learn early on in order to navigate a white dominated world."

Like the time Obama "code-switched his handshake with Kevin Durant" after shaking hands with a white man:

Blay thoroughly enjoys the president singing from the podium, or whenever he dances like her "turnt uncle at the family function" like he did with Ellen DeGeneres:

Calling the DNC's Vice Chairwoman Donna Brazile his "homegirl," his "swag walk" after announcing Osama bin Laden's death, and allowing a young black boy to touch his hair in the Oval Office all made Blay's list.

But one of her favorites has to be the time "he straight up played the GOP during his 2015 State of the Union Address with this back to back sting: 'I have no more campaigns to run… I know, because I won both of them.'" Blay offered this GIF to amplify her point:

"Thanks, Obama!" Blay writes.

It is assumed that with not even one accomplishment mentioned, Obama's skin color and his display of black culture is the only thing left for Blay and the rest of the Obama Nation to hang on to before he leaves office.
