I don't think his opponents are seriously saying that Obama isn't black, maybe factually point out that he is bi-racial, but I think both sides willing accept that he is "socially black".
The only people I have seen is from the "oh there are no races" crowd saying things like "we're all multi-racial" or bi-racial people identifying him specifically as bi-racial so as to further identify with him.
