Barack's Blacker than He Looks

Posted Nov 18th 2008 4:04AM by TMZ Staff

Barack Obama has been keeping a secret from the American public ... and it's right there on top of his head.

BO's Chicago barber Zariff (just one name) says the Prez-elect's head of hair isn't quite as silvery-gray as it might appear in high-def. "When we see it, it looks very silvery and shiny," the scissorhand tells Us. "But of course when you see him in person, it doesn't look like that."

He's not making any assurances about Barack once he does his thing in office.

8. That comment has negative racist overtones. Is this dumb kind of comment about our new President Elect what we can expect from TMZ over the next 4-8 years? It's so incredibly lame, some dumb ass comment about his hair and him being "blacker" than he looks. Stick to the movie stars you hassle on a daily basis.

13. Silly. My hair started getting grey streaks when I was 18, and it picks up the light in photographs so it looks silvery instead of brown. The same thing happens with my sister, who's a blonde. Her hair looks much lighter in pictures.
