Manchester, UNITED STATES: (FILES): This 10 December 2006 file photo shows political buttons supporting US Senator Barack Obama, D-IL, in Manchester, New Hampshire during a rally by Democrats to celebrate the recent victories in the 2006 mid-term elections. US political darling Obama has received enthusiastic support for a possible 2008 presidential bid -- except from fellow African-Americans, a group many believed would be among his staunchest backers. In contrast to the effusive reception Obama has received from many white Americans, many US blacks so far have been cool, saying that while they may share skin color with Obama, they do not have a common culture or history. "Obama did not -- does not -- share a heritage with the majority of black Americans, who are descendants of plantation slaves," wrote African-American newspaper columnist Stanley Crouch in November 2006 in an article entitled "Barack Obama -- Not Black Like Me."
