Why Does Everyone keep Saying that Obama is Black?

[Mike Lowrey]

All I hear is that Obama could be the first Black President, if he were to win. How can people make that claim? I know his campain party like this, because it brings in the black voters......

Obama is:

50.00% Caucasion (White)
43.75% Arabic
6.25% Black

So, please explain how it can be claimed he is black?

The federal law of the US says that to claim minority status, you must be at least 12.5% (1/8) of the race you claim to represent.

Discuss.....

[Nemesis]

Im black, you got a problem with it?

[Ran]

Because people are stupid. Our black warehouse workers want to vote for Obama because he can "identify" with the poor, discriminated black man.

lol wut?

[Brett]

I wonder that each time people say he is African American.... Im like, First off, YOU nor him are from AFRICA and you are just AMERICAN, but anyways, he ISNT BLACK

it is a dumb statement but by American definition he is black. he looks black so he is black.

[4dmin]

:cheers: that is the dumbest name ever... i would like to be Irish/German American :lmfao:

[Nemesis]

if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck , and looks like a duck....












lol

[Ran]

he looks black so he is black.So by that definition, George is Mexican? I mean, he looks Mexican so...

:lmfao:

[Mike Lowrey]

he looks black so he is black.

That is correct. The dumb fuckin' americans beleive this. These same dumb fuckin' americans are who will decide out next president......That worries me greatly.

[Brett]

:cheers: that is the dumbest name ever... i would like to be Irish/German American :lmfao:

That term has always annoyed me when black people say they are AFRICAN AMERICAN. They are born and raised here but cant say AMERICAN, it has to be seperate from any other race and be AFRICAN AMERICAN, when 99.5% of the black population in the US has never even been to Africa :lmfao:

[Mike Lowrey]

Obama is an Arab Cracka! :lmfao:

[BobbyFresco]

I will be so fuking glad once November rolls around so these damn threads will go the fuk away...LOL..but then again, surely the ' Waaah my candidate didn't win " threads will pop up then.


I'm just wondering though...PPl claim to be so confident in Mccain's victory so that being said, why do you care where Obama's votes come from?

I mean if Mccain is going to win and it's all in the bag then who the fuk cares, right?

[Maniacc]

Obama has too much watermelon juice running through his veins. Which caused him to mutate into an african american. It was scientifically proven too.

If Obama doesn't win then I'll guarantee you that the first responses from people are going to be "This is just another example of the white man putting the black man down" and other bullsh*t like that.

This part didn't really make any sense, Rich. How am I a failure? The facts are there - Obama has way too mush watermelon DNA embedded in his. Which caused a radical transformation inside him. What part of that don't you understand?

All Black people in America have at least a little White in their ancestry. Black women were the property of their White masters, and it doesn't take a Master's in history to figure out what happened there.:ninja:

As far as the term "African American" goes, I suggest you read study W.E.B. Du Bois' theory of Double Consciousness as explained in The Souls of Black Folk.


The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife, — this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self. In this merging he wishes neither of the older selves to be lost. He does not wish to Africanize America, for America has too much to teach the world and Africa; he does not wish to bleach his Negro blood in a flood of white Americanism, for he believes that Negro blood has yet a message for the world. He simply wishes to make it possible for a man to be both a Negro and an American without being cursed and spit upon by his fellows, without losing the opportunity of self-development.

[willum14pb]

he has black in him, and when it comes to classing someone, he looks black, and so of course everyone in america says he's black. If you are any % black, you're a black. That's just the facts.

What the hell does that have to do with anything:thinking: quit blaming problems on someone's religion vs. there views on politics. Whether they believe in God and/or Jesus Christ has nothing to do with being a Republican or Democrat. Obama is a Christian...so what the hell does being a Christian have to do with it? Nothing...its just a way for you to express that you don't like Christians or religion or whatever. Find something better to Attack, than being ignorant. You seem smart and that you know what your talking about on your side of the fence, so I'm sure you can find something more plausible to knock on than someones faith:goodjob:

sir before commenting you need read carefully... he expressed people voting for him just b/c he is black we guess what the last election difference was what... CHRISTIANS why? they live in fear and needed to insure Bush could invoke Gods name for another 4 years in the white house. very valid statement.

[The Ninja]

This is how you know if someone is black.

Think about how they would be treated by the average white guy during the American Slave Trade.

I'm more than sure Obama woulda had his flesh torn and wife f*cked like every other nigg*r.

[BobbyFresco]

one of the biggest factors in last elect were Christians they got more involved then ever before. there was even possible inquiry into churches who were supporting candidates. it is easy to put the two together. bush + Jesus are best friends.

point being this election blacks/women are the factor that may make the difference. I'll have to drag up stats for you guy they are out there to support... this was discussed last election w/ us.

Sorry if I came off rude/irritated. I just have my beliefs and just like anyone else if ya believe in something hardcore and it gets knocked on, ya wanna naturally defend it. I agree that blacks/woman are going to be the ones to make a difference in this election.

As far as bush and jesus being best friends...lololol

its because Obama is black you dumbasses

That is correct. The dumb fuckin' americans beleive this. These same dumb fuckin' americans are who will decide out next president......That worries me greatly.

It should be some consolation to you then that those people don't actually pick the next president. They suggest who their state legislatures should send to pick the next president. Yay Electoral College!

Some people in this country are African Americans, my self, sadly I am Black American, African-American, or just me, lol.

Why do I say sadly? Its because....well i don't want to get into that simply due to the nature and mindset of this web board.

As far as my view on the terms "black" and "African-American", this country is confused. Black is a race and a skin color, lol. African-American is black (color), black (race), and people from African descent.

So don't say that WE can't say American. There are color barriers in this world. If it was so simple, then we all would be Americans, period. No white, black, red, green.....

There is a difference in heritage, color, and nationality. Heritage gives light to the use of the term African-American.

They want to claim him as black for convienence.

In order of percentages, he is:

How many black people can say they are African descent? How many people have parents from Africa and were born from true African natives or lived there then moved here? My guess, 0.01% So how can anyone say they are AFRICAN AMERICAN? If you were born here, you are AMERICAN!! regardless of color, why do people have to try and set thier race apart from anyone else and be so different to throw a country into the American mix that they have never been to nor have family directly from?

If you want to be technical, EVERYONE on the planet then is African because humans are from Africa and migrated then around the world, so can I then say I am AFRICAN AMERICAN? :lmfao:

IMO you're only an African-American if you came here from Africa ( as in you were born in Africa ) and became a US Citizen.

So that means a white South African can be an African-American. Ironic no?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_drop_rule

The one-drop rule is a historical colloquial term in the United States that holds that a person with any trace of African ancestry is considered black unless having an alternative non-white ancestry which he or she can claim, such as Native American, Asian, Arab, or Australian aboriginal.[1] It developed most strongly out of the binary culture of long years of institutionalized slavery.

This notion of invisible/intangible membership in a "racial" group has seldom been applied to people of Native American ancestry (see Race in the United States for details). The concept has been chiefly applied to those of black African ancestry. As Langston Hughes wrote, "You see, unfortunately, I am not black. There are lots of different kinds of blood in our family. But here in the United States, the word 'Negro' is used to mean anyone who has any Negro blood at all in his veins. In Africa, the word is more pure. It means all Negro, therefore black. I am brown."[2]

During the Black Pride era of the Civil Rights Movement, the stigma associated with sub-Saharan ancestry was turned to a socio-political advantage.[3].............................





Some consequences of the one-drop rule

Mainly because of the one-drop rule, there are many pale-skinned people who are considered black. In many of these instances, the person can actually have more white ancestry than black. There are examples of how this could happen through the generations. During slavery, there could have been a mulatto person, who because of the one-drop rule, was considered black. If they then had a child with a white person, the child would have been one-quarter black, but still considered black. There are numerous people through American history who had more Caucasian than sub-Saharan (Black) heritage, but were generally, or often, considered black. Examples would include Sally Hemings and G.K. Butterfield.

However, such people today are the exception, not the rule. The average person who self-identifies as black in America has at least 53% of their ancestors from sub-Saharan Africa. Only 10% of Americans who self-identify as black are less than 50% sub-Saharan in ancestry.......................................... ..........

All I hear is that Obama could be the first Black President, if he were to win. How can people make that claim? I know his campain party like this, because it brings in the black voters......

Obama is:

50.00% Caucasion (White)
43.75% Arabic
6.25% Black

So, please explain how it can be claimed he is black?

The federal law of the US says that to claim minority status, you must be at least 12.5% (1/8) of the race you claim to represent.

Discuss.....

Props.. That was really bothering me too... :goodjob:

well, actually he is not the "First" black President, John Hanson was. You can find him on the back of the 2 dollar bill signing the constution.

[Total_Blender]

Black isn't something that is scientific, it is something that is culturally defined. If you were to meet Barack Obama not knowing who he was and without your handy chart that complies his ethnicity into neat little percentages, you would say that he's Black. He self-identifies as Black and a majority of people (both Black and White) believe him to be Black. Regardless of his actual pedigree, Obama has lived the experience of an African American in the US, no one can deny him that.:goodjob:

Yeah, there is a sound arguement. :rolleyes:

When I was graduating highschool and applying for Grants, etc. I noticed something. There were individuals applying under a minority status to qualify for certain grants, etc. They never identified as that minority, and frankly never considered it until they knew there was money involved.

Minority status whenever it benefits them.....

Rich, please tell me you're not ignorant enough to think just because someones grandparents are black that they are of pure African Heritage? Theres hardly any blacks that are, between the racial lines crossed with Indians as well as other cultures over the past 300 years there are not many truly "black" Americans excluding those that have migrated over the past century.

So again, if Obama isn't black then a lot of us aren't.

And you guys kill me with these percentages. So now through the help of the internet you can dictate the percentage of someones genetic makeup? Give me a break.. you dont know what could be in that mans blood line.

I would be with you if it were anything close to being his racial makeup. Race by convienence. It helps his cause, so run with it.

Yeah, I'm sure with his ivy league education, he can surely identify with the struggles of the "black" man from the hood. :rolleyes: :lmfao:

He grew up without his father, I'm sure he can relate a lot more than you would think. I'm not saying feel sorry for him, he's made well for himself and his family but just like there are whites and hispanics from all walks of life.. you have blacks like that too. Nobody choose their race, you just work with the hand you are dealt and Obama just happens to be black.

Do you deny that "identifying as a black man" is helping his campaign? Certainly would help black identify with him more......

[Total_Blender]

If you don't like it then why don't you and all the other people saying "Obama isn't really Black" run for president as a Black man. Seriously, tell people you are Black and challenge them to prove you aren't. See how seriously they take your campaign. :lmfao:

I've never thought being black gave anyone an edge to being elected. I'll admit the point he is at now, yes it benefits him to be a minority, he gets tons of press coverage cause of it.

I am sick and tired of this lame ass arguement.

Point blank and period, blame society and the on going views of the majority of this nation, not Obama.

If you look at him you see........yep you guessed right, black.

If you look at Colin Powell you see......dang, black again.

If you look at Michael Jackson you see.....maybe white, but he is black too.

Society knows what he is, are you missing that? If he wasn't running for office, white people would view as a black man who is educated. Since he is running, you try to discredit his race too? Give me a ****ing break!

Everyone else on this earth sees a black man, not a 23% black 50% whtie, etc.

Stop this stupid ****ing % game of how much of something someone is. This color game is not working.

Hahahaha....

The US states that to claim minority status you must be 1/8 (12.5%) of that minority. That rule applies to ALL americans.

Are you saying that he should have special treatment?

Should we all take a poll so that we each know how society sees us, and use that as our race? Is that what you propose?

Sadly, we ALL should. Every last one of us. That way we can add a bunch of new options for the 2010 consensus!

My point is this, if he checked the "white" box on a form, he would be told he was wrong. No one would go and check his percentages, in our country color reigns all. No way around it.

What does race have to do with being a leader? He considers himself a black man, since forever, not recently. Why now, when he get closer to possibly winning the election does it really f'ing matter? Let some white people tell it, if he as .00000001% of black in him he is a BLACK PERSON (or the worse word :???: )

Remember, at one point (still now!) many black people did not think he was Black enough (which disgust me), he was not the stereotypical African-American (good, sets a damn good example of how to be), and even further a black person tried to call him out on it (an ignorant creep from up North). So by saying he has an advantage is far from the truth.

Republicans have played this race as dirty as they come. Pulling **** out of magic hats to stop a MIXED AMERICAN (make you feel better?) from even getting CLOSE to becoming president. The Republican theory, flame me if you want, is to keep it white.
