The one drop rule may not be in effect any more, but the fifty percent rule is. Halle Berry is another example. In any case, when anyone looks at him, they see “black,” not “white”.
Looks more Arab to me than anything. (or are we not supposed to say that?)
I thought he was mullato. It’s a word you never hear anymore.
Tiger Woods has “class”.
Barack Obama has “class warfare”.
There is a big difference.
PS: Tiger’s late father was a highly decorated Green Beret in Vietnam.
Barack’s father was a communist from Kenya.
There is a big difference!
It’s no wonder some people call Obama, “The Magic Mulatto” - he can have the best of both worlds.
Mocha Obama!
Or maybe burnt sienna, or raw umber. What difference does it make what precise shade he is? The fact is that strangers perceive him as "not white." He grew up with that and knows what it feels like to be treated like a black person. I'm not saying that he's not capitalizing on his skin color. I'm just saying that in terms of his life experience, he's a black man.
My youngest daughter, born of me (absolute wasp) and my beloved (sicilian/calabrian), was born with a very obvious “mongolian bruise”
google it, friends.
Lo and behold, even though the bruise faded in childhood, in adolescence her hair became so curly/frizzy that she was teased by classmates.
It suggests that somewhere way back when, there might be :::gasp::: some “black” blood in the ancient ancestors. Most likely is the southern italian heritage, but who knows who got sent to Scotland, right? Sicily and Calabria were very close to the trading routes, but the Romans hung out in the English Isles way back as well.
At the same time, my husband has certain physical characteristics that link him to Norman nobility.
So what, and who cares about anything but her character.
You should see me hollering every time Obama is called black. “He ain’t black, he’s mulatto!”...lol
Now today Obama wants us to believe he is actually French but we know that he is still and Arab wannabe.
Could Obamas color be Chameleon to appease liberal airheads.
lol...no kidding? (I wasn't comparing the character of the two, obviously).
Of note, as is so typical, Obama’s father abandoned Obama as a mere infant to pursue other women and his actual wife and children he had previously abandoned in Kenya. It also appears Obama’s father was Arab as opposed to black as alleged. Obama’s white grandparents ended up raising him. Why does he now throw them under the bus? What is the truth with this camelion, is he just a common con artist?
I guess that makes Obama Caukenyan.
Lets just focus on Obama’s qualifications to be PO**S!
OBAMA has NONE:-) Zero, Nada
Tiger refuses to accept being called black, because he says “it means my mother doesn’t exist”.
Obama presents himself as black because he knows the blacks will vote for him nearly 100% without question, and most of the white liberals will only think about it for two seconds.
Many of those whites are so worried about being called racist that they’d rather help elect a big nothing like Obamessiah than stay home or vote for someone else. I have seen this “white guilt” all around me for years and I’m sick of it.
Perhaps, as some say, once in the voting booth there might be some surprises in store. When no one is watching, who will everyone REALLY vote for? We shall see!
Obama is a Mulato. Period. That he chose to identify with his skin color rather than his heritage for whatever the reason, is sad. He could bring more credibility by saying that he is an “American” who happens to be mixed. Everyone can see he is Black in color, just as folks see me as White. But if asked, I answer truthfully and with respect to ALL my relatives. I am White and American Indian (Delaware and Cherokee).
He’s supposed to say he is mixed, or Mulatto. Simple.
Isn’t it interesting that no one thinks that there could be Whites from Kenya? Yes, his father happened to be Black. I’m just saying.
Well, most Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are racially mixed like Obama, but we all throw them into the idiotic “hispanic” category along with white Argentineans and indians from Guatemala.
