First Black First Lady, descendant of slaves.... (enemies, ethics, California)

The First lady is mixed race. So therefore, her children with Barack Obama are mix race as well. They are multiracial!

It would be interesting to see if Michelle Obama ran for presidency of the United States of America.

Most in this hemisphere are. There weren't many people voluntarily emigrating from Africa to this hemisphere 100 years ago and earlier.

Africans are brown in shade too. As a matter of fact whats called black is actually brown to the darkest shade of brown like a hersheys bar(Its brown)
BTW All africans do not look the same african looks varies from person to person ethnic group to ethnic group. And there are many ethnic africans who look no different from american blacks!
