exactly shows you how silly he is
obama knows his mother is a white women from kansas and father from kenya if he didnt know this i wouldnt know this.
Curious to know how many of the 10 is she the mother of.
LOL not surprised one bit!:D
Five of 'em.
first of all yes you would because the media would tell you anyway.
point i'm getting at is he's mixed race but he wrote on the census for race that he's black
He said she was African before.
I would say you have a fine line in understatement.
Thanks, I just wasn't sure.
Then he had 3 with first wife, so where does the other 2 come in at? Another ex-wife?
...unless he and his wife are into open marriages, it was completely disrespectful to her and probably embarrassing to their kids. So, not surprised at all if he never educated himself about the details of her heritage.
my mother is mixed race and my dad is black im i allwed to call myself black by your logic?
you haver to rtemember america is very different, white americans never accepted mixed race people as part of them like it is in england so thats why most mixed race americans consider themselves black and this was created by white americans not black americans.
havent you ever heard of the one drop rule created by white slavemasters?
That's because for years if you had any African/Carribbean ancestry whatsoever you were put on the census as black. A lot of mixed races write black on forms as they consider their black heritage to be still classed as lower in the USA and they want to state their pride in it.
well for you yes you should call yourself black by all means.
i've heard of the one drop rule but thats not exactly scientific though is it. if it was coined by white racists nobody should really go by that 'rule'. its old fashioned and racist i guess
i agree with you it is a racist thing, did you know jade goody would be considered black by many white americans and evan her sons and that is laughable lol. sadly sometimes the damage has already been done.
i personally see myself as mixed race/black as weird as that sounds but i love my african english and german heritage.
haha yeah about jade. that reminds me an american friend of mine was saying nicole ritchie is black. it all gets a bit confusing at times!
lol nicole is as black as my nans blonde white hair lol
The thing with Obama is, when he ran for Senator of Illinois & then US Pres, he ran as not a Black man but as a man who had a White mother from Kansas & an African Father from Kenya. Noting he didn't use the terms "black" at that point. But the media did.
He didn't start all of this calling himself a "black man" until he did become US Pres.
At the time, his reasoning was to help bridge the gap. Why he is now considering himself solely black is a question many have been asking for sometime..
Everyone should be proud of their heritage.
you are absulutely correct mate
