Yes, Barack Obama has a dark skin tone, but are you honestly suggesting that he's "100% black" despite having a Caucasian mother?

Race is inconsequential IMO, President Obama is going to be bad for this country regardless of his skin tone, but there's no denying the fact that he's biracial. This is just turning into a silly semantics game.

Besides, we already had our "first black president."

I always thought Bill Clinton was America's first black president. I was always suspicious when I heard that claim though because he looks awfully pasty to be a black man.

A tall, dark, muslim terrorist with an accent that makes him sound like he pals around with domestic terrorists!










Lighten up, I am only joking!!!

True. And the vast majority of African Americans are biracial or triracial.

I'm a bi-racial white guy. Mostly Irish with some native American blood.

No, there is no such thing as "100%" black, as "black" is a social construct. You can be 100% African, but Obama of course is not, and very few people in the Western Hemisphere are.

The talk in one deep south state which will remain unnamed is that Barack isnt black enough for them.

In your experience, would you say that white-appearing people who may have Native and African ancestry are more willing to "admit" to the Native but not the African?
