President Barack Obama: Black Man Extraordinary and Ordinary

there is a July 2016 nationally representative survey in which 65% of Black respondents, compared with only 27% of Whites, agreed that "it is a lot more difficult to be Black in this country than it is to be White. Reid recounted a dismal list of firsts that Obama had experienced as president: the first president to be denied hearings on his budget, the first to have his Supreme Court nominee denied hearings, the first to be asked to show his birth certificate, and the first to encounter more than 500 Senate filibusters-even on issues with which Republicans agreed.5 Reid concluded that Obama deserved better than the "unprecedented disrespect Republicans have shown toward him.".
