One more time.

That is the point.

AFRICAN IS NOT A RACE.

Teresa Heinz Kerry is Caucasian.

AFRICAN IS NOT A RACE.

Latin: the word means Black.

Anthropology: Negroid adj.

The term has its etymological roots in Latin, i.e. black, with the earliest recorded use of the term “Negroid” in 1859.[3]

In modern use, the term is associated with “the division of mankind represented by the indigenous peoples of central and southern Africa”.[4]

In physical anthropology the term is one of the three general racial classifications of humans — Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid.

Under this classification scheme, humans are divisible into broad sub-groups based on phenotypic characteristics such as cranial and skeletal morphology.

Such classifications remain in use today in the fields of anthropology and forensics to help identify the ethnicity, lineage and origin of human remains.

Arguing with an Obama troll is useless. They just say the same thing again no matter what proof is offered.

""... if the dissolution of the Union should result from the slave question, it is as obvious as anything that can be foreseen of futurity, that it must shortly afterwards be followed by the universal emancipation of the slaves. A more remote but perhaps not less certain consequence would be the extirpation of the African race on this continent, by the gradually bleaching process of intermixture, " - John Quincy Adams, 1820
