One thing that no one is taling about is that when a child is born to parents of different races, the child is usually ascribed the race of the birth mother.

That would mean that Obama is not black.

So, I guess he is a fraud in more ways than 47.

From what I’ve read, he’s only 6.25% Black - not enough to be classified as an African-American.

The American tradition was the “one drop rule” by which someone with any African ancestors would be considered Black. Homer Plessy, of the famous Plessy v. Ferguson case, was one-eighth Black, but the Supreme Court found him to be a Negro and thus could be legally excluded from white accommodations.

Even if he was listed as his father, he is not black. Black is defined as Native African. His father is Arab. Obama only has 6.5% Native Black African blood in him. By federal standards, you have to have 12.5% to claim the minority standard.
