Stop calling a white-raised biracial with NO SLAVE BLOOD "Black"
Stop calling a white-raised biracial who is light skinned and has no black accent unless he needs one-"Black"
Stop calling a white-raised biracial whose African half is Nilo-Saharan from East Africa and genetically unrelated to West Africans - "Black"
Stop calling a white-raised biracial with a fake acquired accent-"Black"
Stop calling a white-raised biracial whose bloodline is closer to Prince Charles than MLK- "Black"
As long as Rush, Savage, Hannity and Levin call him "black" the Garafalos. Olbermanns and O'donnells can play the race card.
And before someone throws up "One drop rule" (which was never federal policy, remember there was also the" white mother makes you free rule".
Valid point.
Mr. Obama is as black as Father Pfleger.
They both decided on their own volition to move into the hood and get involved in liberation theology by their own life choices.
Having slave blood as a requirement for blackness is same saying plantation owner blood as a requirement for whiteness.
THere were black plantation owners.
And the Roots narrative was about slavery.
A Ghanian immigrant whose ancestors sold American blacks is as unrelated to Obama as are American blcks whose ancestry were slaves.
Oh and Obamas ancestry includes plantation owners
Bammy never had a Mother...apparently.
Almost right: the purported moral claim “blacks” have on America is based on their ancestors being imported and kept as slaves. Even if one grants such a claim for the sake of argument, Obama is not party to such a claim.
