    I read it as him making a reference to black people being legally considered to be 3/5ths of a man back when the united states was founded. So if you go by those definitions, Obama wouldn’t have added up to “1”.

    Which is why I said thats pretty racist.

      But he said by today’s definition, and today the 3/5ths thing is in the past
