For you all to hate the Obama's so much you sure give them POWER because they constantly stay on your lips and in your hearts and minds. And why do you all hate Blacks so much? Blacks should be the one hating. Building, inventing, raising Whites families, cooking for whites and keeping their homes up not getting credit or anything for it. Women were raped, used and abuse. From that should be hatred, but some Whites still has the audacity to hate Blacks. It's simply because you couldn't keep Blacks down. Through all of the adversity, Blacks became educated doing any and eveything any other race has done (coming out of slavery to do so, I may add). So do you hate Blacks or is it that you're just jealous that many Blacks has passed you up even with all of their adversities? Get a life.

Just clarifying that your response is not to me, but someone I responded to (nononsenseguy).

Indeed, unfortunately for many on the left, I am sure the first black first lady is held in much higher esteem than her partially black husband, who cannot claim to have come from such pure bloodlines.

You should be impressed simply because he was the first to do it regardless if you like him or not. I'm so sick of people who are down on Blacks due to the color of their skin, it's IGNORANT.
Are you sure you are on the right thread?

Well....I guess it's more than we can say for Obama! His mom was white and his dad was straight up African! Obama has no ties to black people in this country except that he looks the same.

He was born in America, raised in America (most of his life) and is of African ancestry. Those are ties enough. What do you care?

Michelle Obama is mixed race. She is of multigenerationally multiracially mixed race backgrounds.

What do you mean by looking the same? He looks mixed race.

And btw, MOST African Americans are mixed race.

Obama's African father comes from Kenya which is in East Africa. Most AAs African ancestors descend from West Africa and Central Africa.

Obama's white mother actually has distant ancestry from African Americans and some Native, but it's so far removed in her lineage.

Obama is mixed race.

African American and black do NOT mean the same thing.

Anyone that looks at an American Black person can clearly tell, they are not remotely from Africa. Most of the blacks i've seen that are American and have been here a long time are either a brown shade, some are dark (but not black), or a very light shade (mulatto), either way the fact is they are part African (maybe 20-30%), European (maybe 30-40%), and other.

If they made both "whites" and "blacks" from the south take DNA test im pretty sure we'd find out that Barrack Obama was not the first president with African ancestry and President Obama will not be the last!

It's just a giant lie all of it is the fact that we call people "white" and "black"....In my opinion the most correct term to describe people is "non colored" or "colored" that would correctly reflect and respect everyone's mixed heritage and background. It is crazy how much stress we put people through making them deny either their "black" heritage if they're white or their "white" heritage if they're black.

Our country is seriously screwed up! Lying only leads to more lies and ends up damaging human beings for no reason other then to control them and divide them based on false labels and dishonest, distortions, of accurate historical information!

You woldn't have this happening all the time if blacks were truly 100% African

Plus check out this link from the 1960's about what happens when a "white" mates with a "negro" Love, 1962 American High School Style:



Garcelle Beauvais is from Haiti. She is NOT Haitian. Therefore she is NOT African American at all.
