Honestly I don't get what the hell they were expecting here.

Obama is mixed race too and the black community had exactly zero issues still considering him as just as black as any other black person

Colorism and passing are discussions that black folks get defensive about when spoken of by non-black folks, it isn't a wedge issue that can be used to divide the black community from the outside.
