I’ve wondered the same thing when I hear members of the black community say things that try to wipe out his white side as if he didn’t have one. Why do they think he has to deny the white side and totally embrace his black side? It’s because those in the black community that ask this of him are racists. We will never get past racial issues as long as they have that view point. IMO

"12% black, 38% Arab, 50% White does not a black man make, IMO.

I can understand the 50% percent white from his mother, but how were those other percentages calculated?

"What’s the picture? Is that baby Obama or something?"

That's Obama and his grandfather Dunham, his Mom's dad.

I didn’t post this thread. O looks nothing like the Kenyan- absolutely NOTHING. He does strongly resemble MalcolmX, who may well have been in the Seattle area when O’s mother was. His history is so convoluted, who can say with any certainty WHAT this guy is>?
