Obama is no more black than he is white. He’s bi-racial, just identifies himself as being black. I guarantee on his birth certificate (if he has one) it states his race as bi-racial. On that fake birth certificate floating around it said his father was “African”. There is no such thing as an “African” race. African would be your nationality. I know then it had been doctored. It would have said “negro” or “black”.
1960 was before African and before black. At that time there was the Negro Race. I don't think that had any negative connotations at all, that was the proper way to describe the race.
