Rangel might identify himself as Black Hispanic. However, he is not "Black" like African Americans who no admixture. I doubt he considers himself White Hispanic so that Obama analogy doesn't fit this narrative.
Which African Americans have no "admixture" (which sounds like the dubious racial "science" of the first half of the 20th century)? Any African American lighter than ebony has "admixture", though the story is very likely a sad one dating to slavery.

I see your point, and will ad that many of them (most do). However, I speak to how they identify themselves. As I stated how Rangel "might" perceive himself. Not what the United States says he is.
For African Americans to know their true lineage (much of it with European, American Indian roots), genealogical studies must be undertaken. Otherwise, they are just considered "African Americans."
I said this because people such as yourself like to correlate Black elected officials with Blacks as if they agree with everything they do. For instance, Charles Rangel should have never been discussed in this thread at the outset because this thread is not about him. People like yourself "make it about everything else" except the subject at hand.
You're from Staten Island and it's all many of you do.
Lol. If that's what we do, mark me down as proud of it! But again, the main point is, no one mentioned his race but you. We spoke about an incident that he was involved it, which had absolutely nothing to do with race until you, the racialist, interjected yourself.
