“Obama is a black man”

Not 100% — his mother was white. Why is it that when one parent is white and the other is black, the offspring almost always refer to themselves as being black? Just wondering.

Having just got back from a spot of ten pin bowling..... I note your comment on the mother of Obama. A little late to comment but I thought I might add a little here.

I simply detest the "Oscars" but my liberal spouse has it on. At one presentation I saw one Halle Berry accept an award. I thought she had a fine delicate look and the old Italian master painters would have vied for her sitting. She emoted about the black performers that had paved the way for her success.

Glad she has the right of free speech. Thanks to Wiki, she explained to the effect that she would have to have the fact of a white mother on her forehead. This because all people labelled her as black. I was highly amused to get this further information.

She is the daughter of Liverpool born Englishwoman, Judith Ann (nee Hawkins).
Maternal grandmother Nellie Dicken, was born in Sawley, Derbyshire, England.

I believe the father Jessy Berry, left the family at an early stage. I do stand corrected though, as a re-visit to Wiki, could wipe out my post.

England's own daughter- Halle!
