Majority in poll says Obama is 'mixed race'
The Hill ^ | April 14, 2014

Posted on 04/14/2014 3:44:24 PM PDT by SMGFan

A majority of people in the United States perceive President Obama as being "mixed race,” a new poll suggests.

In a study of America's evolving demographics, the Pew Research Center found 52 percent of people view Obama as being "mixed race." Less than a third view him as "black."

More than half of white people view Obama as "mixed race," but more than half of black people view the president as "black."

The huge majority of "blacks" are mixed race. There are very few that are 100% black, and most of them would be recent immigrants.

So. The one-drop rule (an example of hypodescent) finally drops by the wayside. And words like quadroon, octoroon, quintroon, hexadecaroon, and mustefino fade into obscurity.

No. He is half Luo, not Arab. He is red all over and that is the salient point.

Not only was his upbringing entirely outside the typical experience of black Americans he is not related to a single black American on either side of his family. He has zero cultural heritage of the black American experience.

I love when papers do polls about facts, and then report the polls as if they have meaning. What they SHOULD do is look at the polls and realize they are failing at their job of educating the masses.

Obama IS mixed race. If blacks say he is not, that is because the media has failed to report the facts. It would be like doing a poll about whether the sky is blue.

A pole would show us how deep the water is.

We're talking about 0bama here. I think a piece of tissue paper would suffice.

I’m actually more interested in why he considers himself black.

Because that's the only one that gives you a free pass for all treasonous and criminal acts. Too many natives would get restless if he were punished.

As an empirical demonstration as to where true “privilege” exists in our society,

what percentage of “mixed race” individual identify as “white” vs those that identify as “black”?

I’ve known plenty of mixed race people but only 1 that considered himself white.

Good hard working young guy who worked loads of overtime with me and put all his money into his drag strip car.

I received the following in an email:

“The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn’t, not a genetic drop of, is ‘African-American,’ the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn’t a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It’s something Hillary doesn’t understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals’ Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

He is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.”
