Same deal.

Also derek jeter is half white but he's black.

The list goes on.


There was that time Oprah brought Woods onto her show and she like "Isn't it great to see black people succeed."

Woods was like "I'm not black."
It felt like gravity.

Has this issue ever been addressed by persons in the media or in fact by Barack himself?

Isn't it like, at least in some states, if you are partly a minority race, you are considered that race. So if you're half white and half black, you're considered black. I'm not sure if that's a national thing, but I'm pretty sure it's like that in some states. Some extreme cases involve being like 1/16th black and rest white but still being officially black.
sounds like the laws about jews in the 3rd reich with 1/16th jews and what not


That's exactly what it's like. Isn't affirmative action wonderful?

yea it's pretty simple, race isn't the driving force behind it...just skin color.

people are called black when they look black..omg it's crazy.

Sometimes just generalizing what race a person is isn't a bad thing. I mean in my case, if people didn't it would be something like this... "Hey there goes that 1/8th black, 3/8ths Native American, 2/8ths Irish, 2/8ths British guy!"

I'm such a mutt.

But people ether think I'm white, or an Indian. (The very odd time people think I'm Asian... No idea why.)

However, The 3rd Reich was pretty bad. They'd kill anyone who was a quarter Jewish, even if they were full out German speaking citizens. But if you were less then that, they would leave you be, as long as you were a German speaking citizen. No doubt they got it rough regardless. Probably with forced labour.

Obama looks black. So thats all there really is to it. Not every news agency is going to refer to him as that Half White/Half Black guy.
Not bad for a cat toy.
