“Well, he’s speaking the truth, for once. It’s tough to find a black American with pure African blood.”
Good point, and well taken.
Still and all, would you describe your family as “mongrel”?
Or would you be a bit more dignified?
If I described my geneology I’d say it’s a “hodge podge.” “Some of this, some of that.”
A study by the
Population Research Center, in Portland, Oregon, projects that the black
intermarriage rate will climb dramatically in this century, to a point at which 37
percent of African-Americans will claim mixed ancestry by 2100.

” Or would you be a bit more dignified?”
To me he’s the most undignified President we have had.....
He appears to want to be:
Jay Leno’s replacement and the hippest thing to come along in our lifetime...........
No. That particular term has never occurred to me, to describe my family. I sometimes jokingly call myself Neapolitan (as in ice cream).
But "mongrel"? I think a lot of black folks across the country winced when they heard that come out of Obama's mouth.
