Technically it's a poor argument. If you remember the years of the "one drop rule" in this country, he would historically be listed as "black" or "colored." There are very few "African Americans, save those of recent immigrant parentage, like Colin Powell, who do not have significant amounts of "white" ancestry, and often some American Indian as well, both from pre Civil war times and from places like Oklahoma, where many former slaves settled and got it on with the locals from various Indian nations. (Whites were doing the same at the same time of course).

The show African American Lives 2 says that DNA test have show that it is largely a myth that African Americans have American Indian blood.
I recommend anyone catch it if they can.
