I intend to see it. In case some Black folks weren't aware President Obama had White girlfriends in his youth, they will soon.
Being that his youth and teen years were split between Asia and Hawaii, you would almost expect him to have interaction with Asian and White women. I don't think that there would be a lot of black girls running around Hawaii in the 60-70s. For many, their childhood crushes reflect preferences or an attitude towards who they may/may not date. My first "pretend" girlfriend was a young blonde named Mary Ann. The 2nd was named Maniola (Filipina). When it comes to women I'm open to dating, it basically takes witchcraft, pagan or extreme non-christian beliefs to disqualify her.
Get out of here with that nonsense. This is about Obama's college days which was a time he was dating white chicks. If the confidence of black women or the black community is so shaken by that then they need to collectively see a shrink.
Um, was MLK involved with white women? Even if so the main problem was MLK was married when this occurred.
Oh I didn't realize that. The thread title & OP makes it seem that this movie is specifically an IR romantic drama about Obama & 1 of his college girlfriends.
But in the OP's post here was a key line: Barry explores the time when Obama was a college student exploring the Big Apple where he has a fateful encounter with a young woman.

Interesting, actor doesn't look much like him but he looks more like him than the other guy who played him in a different flick.
Yeah it's intentional because the timeline is when Obama arrived in college....long before he met Michelle. There is no conspiracy...damn we already had this discussion in another thread months ago. Can people here stop seeing ulterior motives regarding this film?

I don't understand why this is news all of a sudden this week. The info is out there if anyone really wanted to know that Michelle is literally the 1st & only BW that Barrack has ever been with. He basically married Michelle for political reasons. (Not a diss to Michelle. We all know politicians & the elite don't get married for love. Their marriages are business transactions.) I find it interesting that black gossip sites never seem to talk/report about that. If it had been any other Black Male celebrity, they would been put that info out.
