I used to give him a lot of slack

in response to the exaggerated rhetoric of Republican pundits, but isn't he showing himself to be an outsider and Islam sympathizer?

Islam and America: The President’s Fictitious History by Carson Holloway

I read somewhere that Steve Sailer claims that B. H. Obama could not relate to Europe and perceived himself to be an outsider? Is this how average African-Americans, even those who are practicing Christian and received their Christianity originally from white people, would also feel while spending time in Europe? If so, this would seem to show that race is as much a component of identity as culture, and that culture (religion & beliefs) and language are not enough.

How many white Americans feel comfortable in Europe? Or in the U.K. or the country from which their ancestors came? I would think that the percentage and absolute number is greater than it is for black Americans. The claim that there is a single culture and identity for Americans seems manifestly false. There are many different American cultures and identities, and it remains to be seen if harmony and peace can be maintained.
