Pretty...but stupid.

Also, what is it with these half black celebrities (Keys, Halle Barry, even Barack Hussein Obama) who are abandoned by their black fathers, raised by their white mothers and, despite that fact, identify with the race of the parent who abandoned them?

Self loathing? Racial politics? Seriously. I don't get it.

C'mon, it's way cooler to be black than it is to be white.

Because white kids who go to exclusive schools in Hawaii don't go to the head of the admission line at Hahvahd...

Maybe it’s simply because when they look in the mirror, what they see looks more like a black person than a white person? Honestly, if you didn’t know for sure the celebrities in question were multiracial, and just saw their faces for the first time, what race would you associate them with?

It's almost as if they think they would not be able to sing, dance or jump if they did. Then again, affirmative action would not work as well.

It would only be affirmative half-action.
