Are you saying just because he is dark-complected then that makes him a minority, or black in this case, by default? He had a Kenyan father and a white mother. That's 50% black and 50% white according to my calculations.

He is black. That doesn't mean his mom's not white.

All mixed individuals, including European mutts like many white Americans, should embrace all of their heritage and cultural history. There's no reason to label yourself entirely as one or the other, because that's clearly a denial of genealogy.


Precisely this.

If and when we're blessed with kids, my wife and I have already decided to teach them to have pride in all aspects of their heritage, not just white or black. That's very important.

I didn't think it was that inflammatory the way he stated it (not saying i agree or disagree with the statement). Seriously doubt he will be fired or even reprimanded.

To me he is a man, who cares what race, creed, or ethnic orgin is.

He made a public display, he is getting flack for it. I would feel the same way if JJ Watt, Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater, or Russell Wilson did the same thing.

Their choice, I do not have to endorse or condone it, but I do not have to live the consequences of it.

He's white. That doesn't mean his Dad's not black.
