Why does the Obummer so closely identify with a bigamist who abandoned him (and his mother) at birth to go back to his other wife? That’s just weird.

Traditionally, because of the strangeness of the American racial system, it has been to the advantage of American Mulattoes to identify as black (at least on forms). Today, I personally see no conflict with American Mulattoes taking the liberty of acknowledging that they are biracial and feeling good about that, YET still giving their demographic support where it can really count and do the MOST good--with the BLACK community.

It's anecdotal, but it agrees with my impression unless they can pass for white. So, hate whitey.

I meant philosophicaly, not physically.

The ironic thing is that most Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are mulatto to “high yellow” but are not considered black merely because we have the ridiculous “Hispanic” category.
