"Rail against white people"?

Could you please post your sources. Any evidence at all? I've never heard him do anything at like that. Perhaps you are hearing things.

I posed the question to my Magic 8 Ball. He (She? It?) responded that Obama is 43% black and 57% white.

The 8 Ball never fails.

His dad and mom both had anti cononialist beliefs that Obama shared I guess. They passed on their far left thinking to him which in turn has seemed to fail us.

The US is unique in its persistent "one drop rule" mentality. In South Africa, he'd be coloured. In Brazil and most of the rest of the world, he'd be considered mixed.

Only here do people mentally round even the faintest trace of African ancestry as simply "black".

In fact, sometimes you don't even have to have any African ancestry. I have a friend of Greek descent who was called the n word in the South because they mistook her curly black hair as her being "black". So in some parts, it's enough just not looking "pure Aryan"/Nordic enough.

You obsessed or something ?

Seems to be a preoccupation on this particular forum

OP

Explain why this matters ?
You sure made a big first splash! Welcome to the turbulent waters, friend.

There are no such things as "black genes".
