Obama Lists Simply 'African American' as Race on Census

[☭proletarian☭]

Not a single person has addressed what the term "African American" means.

I means Negroid.

He identifies with his father's lineage more than his mothers, likely in large part due to his association with a Black church and the Black community in Chicago and the fact that most Americans still lump mixed-race persons primarily with the darker parent's race- a practice that goes back to the 'one drop' thinking of the KKK and others who considered Octaroon a race.

How can this one board be populated by so many losers like you?

Need help finding the exit? If you need help, just ask Gunny to help you stay away. I'm sure he'd be glad to help.

How is asking someone's race racist?

Do you know what 'racist' means?

If I was colorblind, why would I ask if you were black or white?

Because you were collecting statistics.

"Collecting Statistics?"

You mean as a hobby? Like Coins? Or Stamps?

Why would the government need racial statistics?

To predict increases in crime rates and determine the timeline for phasing out English as the language of the land.

Read the info linked in post 63 you dumfuk. The fact he can trace his lineage back to not only the Nation, but the specific tribe is why he does not qualify as an African American. (if you have to ask "why" or say "that doesn't make sense" it's because you don't know shit about the issue.)

Obama threw his 'white part' under the bus. Had he looked more white than black, he would have thrown his 'black part' under the bus.

 

[Angelhair]

Yeah, just remember to ask questions that don't take 17 minutes to answer.

 

[Angelhair]

Since when is american a race??????? As in father = africanamerican; his mother = american????

Right... and being a Celt or a German means someone's not White

No, silly, it means they aren't European even though their countries exist in Europe.

It takes a special kind of reetawrded fukwad to ignore the issue by whining about petty shit.

Not a single person has addressed what the term "African American" means. You ignore the info I posted then go on a deflection campaign. How can this one board be populated by so many losers like you?

African American simply means an American of African descent, no more no less than that.

Thats not hypocrisy

You're changing labels of origin based on nothing but skin color.

You're saying obama qualifies as "african American" because his father was born there but a white person BORN IN AFRICA does not qualify for the same term. Thass rank hypocrisy.
