Since Obama claims to be half white and half black, why are white Americans “racist” for wanting to throw the commie out? And why is he called “the First Black American President,” when #1 he’s not all American and #2 he’s not all black?

Not too long ago on the census sheets, a person of mixed race was referred to as “mulatto.” Is that term gone now?

Yep. And the history of racial classification is fascinating.

Back in the days of Jim Crow, the south considered anybody who was even part black, all black. They had to go to the back of the bus, drink at "colored" water fountains, etc.

The northern liberals thought this absolutely terrible -- that even one drop of blood could confine one to minority status.

After the civil rights movement succeeded, though, liberals chose to use the same definition on census forms, etc -- since they wanted to increase the population count of blacks. Which, of coursee, they intended to exploit.

When it came to votes, better more blacks than fewer...

Obama is the First popularly elected (non NBC eligible) Communist President promoted under the quise of being “Black” to cover those salient facts up.... accomplished in spite of our Laws disqualifying his nomination much less election, and with the full complicity of the Fourth Estate, the political parties, and other government officials...The whole matter is a disgusting perversion of the American Ideal/Idea......
