Why Does Everyone keep Saying that Obama is Black?

[AirMax95]

The point is claiming minority status for personal gain. It is helping his campain. period.

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.
