African-American History month is an annual commemoration which began as Negro History week in 1926 by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson in Washington, D.C. Fifty years later it became Black History month and now it’s referred to as African-American History month.

According to this blogger who has been a researcher for various publications, Obama is not a negro:

Why is the fact that Mr. Obama is only 6.25% African Negro not reported? Because to acknowledge it is to report this devastating truth about him: Mr. Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America's first African-American president.

Federal law requires that to claim a minority status, you must be at least 1/8 of the descriptor, but for the sake of this article, I've converted it to a decimal fraction for easier comprehension. You must be at least 12.5% of the racial component you claim for minority status. Mr. Obama, claiming to be African-American, is half the legal threshold."

Have you ever seen a picture of Obama’s father? There is no way he is only 1/8 black. Arabs are Caucasian racially, keep that in mind.
