He is also half white.
Unless the one-drop rule still applies, our president-elect is not black.
We call him that -- he calls himself that -- because we use dated language and logic. After more than 300 years and much difficult history, we hew to the old racist rule: Part-black is all black. Fifty percent equals a hundred. There's no in-between.
That was my reaction when I read these words on the front page of this newspaper the day after the election: "Obama Makes History: U.S. Decisively Elects First Black President."
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
A better but certainly not asked question by this columnist's opinion piece would be: "Is Obamba a natural born United States citizen?"
Fat chance we'll see an opinion piece in the Wash Obama's Feet Post.
How disgusting is it that Ms. Arana states:
"But Obama's ascent to the presidency is more than a triumph for blacks. It is the signal of a broad change with broad ramifications. The world has become too fused, too interdependent to ignore this emerging reality: Just as banks, earthly resources and human disease form an intricate global web, so do racial ties. No one appreciates this more, perhaps, than the American Hispanic."
He’s the new black. Think Mariah Carey, Halle Berry and so on.
Mulatto as I understand it.
No, he’s not black. He’s about the same color as my Khaki BDU Parade Shorts...
...hey yeah, THAT’S the ticket! America has just elected its first Khaki President!
Well if the slave owners did not make the rule, it would not be used today. Slave owners have really messed up America in many ways. Thank God the North had the sense to fix the travesty.
It is ironic that the first ‘black’ to become President happens to be Kenyan and therefore no legitimate ties to American slavery and the ‘American’ ties he inherited were from a white woman. 0bama will do a disservice in that he is going to be a bad example of a ‘President’. One we will not recover from. That’s what you get from people who are obsessed with race and build their lives on it.
A lot of blood was shed to right the wrongs and has gone unappreciated. The United States is responsible for 89 yrs. of it, but if 0bama and his cronies push for reparations maybe they ought to look England’s way as well as 0bama hails from Kenya-what part did his ancestors play in selling those to American slavery?
Ray Nagin said that New Orleans was a “Chocolate City”. Does that mean Obama is “Milk Chocolate”?
Thank God the North had the sense to fix the travesty.
Your ignorance regarding the War of Northern Aggression is astounding.
Proof that dunb comes in all colors.
I had a buddy when I was stationed in Germany who was black,Japanese and Irish.He was a loon,fun guy to get drunk with.
Who ended slavery? The North. Nothing ignorant about that fact. Obviously your from the South so no use arguing about with a person that was for slavery. Over and out.
Oh! I get it! He went 'up nawth' and 'passed'.
” He is our first biracial, bicultural president.”
Who says?
“Racial heritage of six former presidents is questioned”

What ports did the slave ships use? Who made money when a slave was sold to a Southerner? Why was slavery OK until the South started exporting cotton to England because of the low prices the Northern textile mills were willing to pay?
They did the same with Tiger Woods, who is only 1/4 th black. I think he is is actually 3/4 Asian (Thai) or is that 1/4 white, 1/4 black and 1/2 Asian? Well, you can see how silly this is getting!
The case is clearly outlined in the great black myth of former royalty in Africa that is the movie Coming To America. Eddie Murphy portrays a prince, a ruler who throws away his past to find something new.
The big eared one is from Africa. He is new. He is different. He is not black. He is not Sharpton. He is not Jessee. He is not any of those old men who marched with Martin.
He is not black.
