"every other nominee was white" does not negate the fact that a freshman senator with no experience other than as a community organizer would never have been a candidate if he was white.........
Hahahahahahaeehehaaahaa!!!! First, obviously, Obama had experience beyond just being a US senator and a community organizer. He'd been a representative at the state level, as well as a professor of Constitutional law. There have been plenty of white candidates with less relevant experience than that, including the bloated fascist currently befouling the Oval Office. As you'll recall, the sum and total of his experience was being handed a real estate empire by his daddy, then doing some trash-TV work. He hadn't ever served in government in any form at all. We also had several presidents who'd never held political office, having made their name in the military. There were others who'd had some service in government, but not in any elected office (like Hoover, who'd had a secretarial position). Or how about Abe Lincoln. Do you know how much political experience he had before winning his party's nomination? Like Obama, he's served in state government, then he'd gone to Washington for two years... only, in his case, to serve in the lower house. Obama was clearly more experienced than Lincoln when he got the nod.
Obama was less experienced than some white nominees, more experienced than others.
