Long before Michelle Obama became First Lady, her mother had misgivings about her marrying a young man named Barack Obama because he was biracial.
In a Chicago TV interview that aired during Obamas 2004 U.S. Senate campaign and newly resurrected by Michelle Obama biographer Peter Slevin in a book due out next month Marion Robinson confessed to being a little bit wary about her future son-in-law being the product of a white mom and black dad.
But it couldve been worse, according to Robinson.
That didnt concern me as much as had he been completely white, Robinson laughed in the appearance on WTTWs Chicago Tonight, which was scarcely noticed at the time.

Allow me to correct a typo:
Long before Michelle Obama became First Lady, her mother had misgivings about her marrying a young man named Barack Obama because he was biracialsexual.
There, fixed it.

Most if not all American blacks are partly white.
Quite possible. Some Black people I grew up with are related to the Ramapo Indians, aka "Jackson Whites", they're a mixture of African, Caucasian as well as some Lanape, Munsee, Tuscarora and other tribes. Technically, they're TRIracial.

Michelle’s mom had great insight. Too bad it was for the wrong reason.

Never in Mom’s wildest dreams did she envision the WH, billions in graft and bribes, and life as a potentate.
Wonder what she’s sayin’ now?

Bammy’s wife’s Mommy missed the transparently obvious fact that while Bammy is “biracial, he is also “bisexual”.
Silly Mommy.
