Yeah, of course it had nothing to do with Barack dressing like a waiter.

Via Politico:

President Barack Obama shared that he has been mistaken for staff as well on numerous occasions during his life.

“There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys,” said the president.

Michelle Obama also recalled, “He was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee.”

However, the Obamas, who sat down with the magazine for the 30-minute interview, said what they’ve experienced does not compare to what others have gone through in past generations and in other communities.

“It’s one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. It’s another thing for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed, or worse, if he happens to be walking down the street and is dressed the way teenagers dress,” the president said.
