Lucario;19013418]How do you figure? I could call myself white, but that doesn't make it so.
Lucario you are not as lightskin as Bob Barr so you could not get away with calling yourself White. Also your hair is also more afro textured than Bob Barr's.
You would not even pass for White in Puerto Rico, let alone the United States.
1. You don't know what I look like. I self-identify as African though.
2. I don't want to pass for White anywhere.
3. Point is, just because someone wishes to be something does not make it true. Look at Sammy Sosa. Or Michael Jackson.
Look at the picture in the first or second page of the thread, he and Reverend Wrong look like twins. So what if he's black? My only issue is that when it's been brought up, he's been defensive about it, as if there was something wrong with it.
Of course he considers himself white. In a country where the overwhelming advantages go to white people, anyone who can consider themself white does it. That's a no-brainer.
You mean like POTUS?
Dude, get outta the 1950's; there's no "boogie man" trying to keep you down.
Bob Barr looks Whiter than Sammy Sosa and Michael Jackson.
Yes, even after they dyed their skin white and altered other features, they were still Black men.
Point is, even though Barr is substantially White and has lived as a White man in his native Georgia, chances are that he is not totally white, and in a place like Georgia, that means he is not a White man, but biracial, which means he's Black.
I really don't care that this Black White Supremacist hides that aspect of himself; I am just pointing out that I'm not the only one that has noticed what's going on with him.
With Barr we have NO evidence beyond people sterotyping blacks as having big noses and fat lips as 'evidence'...
You mean black people don't have big noses and fat lips? Many do, especially those of overwhelming West African origins. As a result, so do their descendants, biracial, multiracial or not.

There's also been no dimunition in the level of white privilege in the United States.
