It’s hard to find an African American who isn’t mixed race.
Obama, Harold Ford Jr, and Colin Powell come to mind first.
Jesse Jackson is fairly mixed too.
Those are the only 4 I’ve ever seen touted or that have run for national office.
I find it ironic.
Course Obama claims he’s not the black candidate which is laughable.
That is precisely why he’s getting the votes he’s getting.
Blacks voting skin and liberal whites voting guilt or looking to feel morally superior to regular bigots (whom they see everywhere).
Like many freepers do when they play the race card. Wonder how many of those will vote for Obama when no one is looking. He’s right up their alley.
Really?
How about this one?

Oops. Fixed it.
She hasnt said one thing about the US before the year 2007 that would make her proud to be a citizen of the greatest nation in the history of mankind that has placed her amongst the most privliged of the elite in this country.
I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nations dismay, I think we have found her.
the world sure does and the Democrast sure do.
Western whites are the only ones expected to be colorblind.
I'd be all for it but I'd have to be a sucka to fall for it yet.
