Yes, your upstream post did clarify your thoughts on the matter, and I agree, essentially.

I will only say that mentioning Obama's race in that context makes some sense to me. If Carter had simply said, "a boy growing up with a single mother" he would have been leaving out a factor that does make the story more remarkable.
