So as long as one parent is AA, then you are AA. BWAH!
He has AA blood and white american blood running in him. He is NOT all black. |

If I had one black parent and one white parent, I'm not going to claim myself as black or white. I'm going to say I'm mixed race. But Barack is
giving no acknowledgment to his WHITE mother.

What is he then, white? He has just as much black as he is anything else. If that is the part of his heritage he identifies with, then great for him.

Yes, I have and I wish folks would refer to him as that instead of African American or black. But they don't. |

Yeah I wouldn't refer to him as black either...he's neither one or the other...he's mixed race.
