Obama is White!
He's been trying to pass himself off as a black man in this campaign - - I've often heard references to the race between him and Hilary as the the black guy vs. the white woman - - but as it turns out, he's actually a white guy!!! Take a look at his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham: Perhaps some might argue that since his father, Barack Obama Sr. was a black man from Kenya, that he is justified in calling himself black - - but of course... that is my own exact argument for calling him white. Let's stop this mutually agreed upon subterfuge and admit it... Barack Obama is White!

Re: Obama is White!
Although you're technically right, I'd still consider him a black man. Just looking at his skin color, I can't think of anybody who would consider him white. He is looked on as black and has been treated as black his whole life, for good or for worse.

Re: Obama is White!
This is better stated than I could do:
"For people who are the offspring of one black parent, the one-drop rule forced them to identify with Black people, for better or for worse. While the Supreme Court struck down the one-drop rule in 1967 with its ruling in Loving v. Virginia, effectively eradicating anti-miscegenation laws, social practices have been slower to change.
So if Obama identifies as Black before being biracial, he does so probably because that is how America has reacted to him. That does not mean he ignores the other parts that make him who he is just because others might. "I'm very sensitive to making sure that everybody feels a part of America, and that's one of the things that I think I can bring to this presidency. The day that I'm inaugurated, the country will look at itself differently," said Obama to an MTV audience, reported NPR."

Well, of course, you've caught me out - - my ultimate point is that he is biracial - - though I prefer the term heterocultural (as opposed to the majority of Americans who are homoculturals)... But playing down his heterocultural heritage is a big, big political advantage, while playing up his blackness at this unique point in history is a huge advantage in this particular political race - - and no successful politician wins without a few white lies. Even more importantly, there is no such thing as race, at least not biologically speaking - - it is a social construct that remains useful in dividing and conquering the human species...

They get all the breaks. Quote: it is a social construct that remains useful in dividing and conquering the human species... Which you've tried and failed to do here.

Re: Obama is White!
Bradley I love you and all, but this whole thread is DUMB.
I mean, thanks for pointing to those of us who are biracial, that wow, we are, but you know what people see me and they think "black."
Again thanks for the insight about race being a social construct, again if only I had known this I would have told the cop this when one pulled me over for being black.
Gee, thanks.
We didn't invent the one drop of blood rule, you know.

I see that my original linked picture has been buried to sustain this dirty little secret. But the truth must be forgotten - - Obama is White!

Re: Obama is White!
So imagine if Obama was just another guy on the street you would say he was white?
Stanley you're a fucking moron.

Some meek little Barbara Bush who's pandered to and given a little job so she'll shut up? That reminds me: Babs was given "Teaching kids to read", because she had success with George, of course.

THat man in the picture with Obama and his other is his step dad in indonesia, not his real dad. His real dad was as black as they come.

Re: Obama is White!
Heh! Maybe you're right - - I don't think I've heard Obama's race mentioned once this year in either the media or in private conversations... BTW... check out Obama's grandfather, Stanley Dunham: Plus - - here's an interesting analysis of the use of the social construct of "race" relating to this photo...
