Obama's the head of state of the United States of America. He signs off on drone-striking arabs on the other side of the world because their lives are deemed to have less value than those of his electorate. That alone makes him a figurehead of a racist system, in which he plays a knowing, willing and fairly significant part. Also, he presides over a country that disproportionately executes, imprisons and otherwise discriminates against people on the basis of ethnicity. That he's half-black doesn't really diminish the role he plays in perpetuating that injustice, even if only by continuing to permit such injustices to take place. As for having the gumption to say that women are entitled to not have their genitals mutilated, that's pretty irrelevant to whether he's racist or not.
