This is such a fabulous post! After centuries of the whites treating blacks as slaves...non-citizens...second class citizens based on THEIR definition of who is or is not white...you want to hold the blacks RESPONSIBLE for that catagorizing.I do not understand why those on the left chose to consider Obama black or an African American. He is exactly half white, that's 1/2 for you libtards. His background is not African, his father was a dark arab, not an African.
So please explain why he is black or African American.
Have you seen him?
Uhh, yeah. he does have some black features. apparently his fathers genes prevailed.
I hadn't noticed that he had any NON-black features.
But since race is really not much more than an issue of appearance - aside from certain isolated medical concerns - that pretty much answers the question. Why do you think people spent so long arguing that it was a superficial and largely irrelevant division? It's pretty much only racists, on both sides of the question, who spend large amounts of time parsing out percentages and skin shadings and invented "philosophical" differences as though they matter.
He's black. So what?
the 'so what' is that since he is half white, he could also be called white. But I get it, he got more freebees by calling himself black. Same with Beyoncé and Halle Berry. Half white but called black.
Why cant we just call all of them people? Why must every activity be race based? That is my real question in this thread.
