Regardless of whether or not Obama was raised in whatever you consider 
to be 'African American culture', he has no doubt experienced life in a 
very different way from someone who has 'white' skin - something he 
likely shares in common with anyone living in the US who is perceived as 
non-white.  And just as there is no one 'white' culture, there is no one 
'African American' culture.  Culture cannot be defined strictly by the 
color of one's skin or ancestral roots.
