Anyway Sonneborn doesn't look very convincing. But I can see the humor from a German's point of view.

Would have been better if he had gotten the shade right. Obama is half white you know.

C. Thomas Howell - Soul Man
I was referring to the bunched up liberals on this thread having an issue.

I saw Soul Man when it premiered. Not sure how liberal freaks would accept it today.

You just reminded me of the reddest hair I have ever seen. It was on a very light skinned kid who was obviously a left over of some black American soldier running around in Munich. The kid was also very heavily freckled. Sometimes the mixing of races causes some very interesting results. Obama is one of the lucky ones.

I happen to think the prettiest women are multi racial. The prettiest men are also. LMAO.

That's an interesting point. I once was invited to be a panelist at a colloquium at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Coming from the Pacific Northwest, I was stunned by the beautiful (and intelligent) female students I encountered there. (I have to admit that I didn't pay as much attention to the men!)

There is beauty everywhere, among all people. If the world would just simmer down little and see folks for what they are, our innate qualities as human beings would come into focus, and we woud all be a lot better off -- and racism would be a thing of the past, like smallpox and typhoid fever.

It's up to the young people of today to realize this and make it the default perspective. Personally, I think most of them are up to it.

It's a legitimate question.

And that article is worthless. They couldn't put a photo of the subject in question? C'mon.

I'm secure enough in my manhood to recognize the beauty in men.

The most beautiful lady I have seen in my lifetime is Halle Berry who is multi-racial. My wife agrees BTW.

Can you name names?

I am not offended when a black comedienne impersonates or portrays a white man to go "white faced". why should I be.

There was a movie a while back where a black man wakes one morning and he is white. Pretty funny movie.

I don't re-call anybody complaining.

If a white man is going to portray Obama he should look the part.
