you know what? you can make fun of mccain's age without being an ageist, you can make fun of clinton or palin without being a sexist, and you can use the word negro without being a racist. I don't use it, but south america does. when I buy goya black beans, they are called frijoles negros. are you going to picket goya?

I really couldn't care less about his ethnicity. He is of mixed ethnicity like many. He is free to choose how he identifies himself.

What does this have to do with South America? You're trying to make it sound like the OP lives there.

An update on Barack Obama's - and everybody else's - ethnic ID Reading between the lines

Arabs do not intermarry with African Negroes in Kenya, or anywhere else in Africa. And neither do African Negroes intermarry with Arabs. Your ignorance of the realities of the African continent is appalling.

Which brings up the New York Times-created legend of Barack Obama's great grandmother. The "black" Obama "great-grandmother" trotted out by the NY Times is his "step" great grandparent. She is therefore not in his bloodline. It's a point the Times didn't dwell upon, just as they didn't bother to go to his father's relatives in the capital and show off their Arab characteristics and family photos.

This brings up another point about the senator’s father. Please note that the Times ran into a serious problem describing his father's relationship with a woman in Kenya that existed when he married "Barry's" mother in Hawaii. It turns out that Mr. Obama was already married to the Kenyan (who was not African Negro either.). That makes Senator Obama the product of a bigamous marriage. And we all know what that means as far as the legality of the marriage and the legitimacy of the marriage's offspring.

I had to laugh watching them wordsmith the relationship with the Kenyan woman as "unclear" and end up calling her his "consort."

Obama is something like 50% white 35% Arab and 15% African Negro

Why does he try to pass himself off as an African-American (Black).

Obama is decieving and sneeky that is why.

Obinladin could be dismissed by way of failing the major test....American born!!!!!
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume that you are blind. So I'll let you in on something. If you had the sense of sight, you'd see that he is black. I'm sorry that no one told you that before; knowing that would probably have cleared things up for you.

no, I am saying that it's an acceptable word.
