Obama is white. Now we have truly entered the Bizarro World. If he had a white wife, he would probably be even more of a black man to white folks...................

Oh. So now he's not just half black. He's all black? Wasn't somebody just saying that Obama is also of European descent?

Why you dissing the Europeans?

Who will pay for it? College is a great thing if you can afford it. A large percentage of blacks in the country live below the poverty line.

Does that mean blacks can't go to college--of course not. But it's not as easy as cut and dry as you make it seem.

I don't know if he is a jerk or not. But to be a successful politician, you have to be egotistical. That quality is common in every one of our Presidents, Senators, Congresspeople and thousands of other successful Americans.

if he had a white wife, he would have been shunned by the black community. that is why he married his wife. it's called politics. they both stood to gain. the clintons did the same thing.

I'm not dissing anyone. It was the Europeans who set up the race classifications as we have them today. Most Western Hemisphere blacks are combinations of Europeans and Africans. Does that mean that there are no blacks in this country?

UNCF


I think I'm going to have our last kid apply for a scholarship, and see how it goes.

If she doesn't get the scholarship she applies for, I'm going to start SCREAMING racism, and hire a lawyer!

not really. thomas jefferson didn't even list being president as one of his accomplishments on his headstone. obama is going around everywhere he goes with some official seal of the office of the president elect. the man is a typical political moron who is viewed by most, the same way bush was viewed. as a joke.

Yeah, Bill Clinton did marry a white woman, didn't he..............Believe me, there are lots of black men with white wives who are not shunned by anyone but the racists.

So no blacks voted for Obama because they liked him? That's interesting considering you must've spent 3 weeks moving about the country interviewing every single black person.

I wonder what your thoughts are on the whites that voted for him...white guilt?

your post can't be serious.
