Given the fact that human history started in Africa we are all necessarily African American. Seriously.

Kind of makes you wonder how all the whiteness appeared though if it is just science related.

This. Literally everyone born in America is African American.

The point is to acknowledge and understand that there are different ethnic groups. Despite whatever common ancestry that is shared on a long timescale, we have become very distinct both in broad-based racial characteristics as well as intra-ethnic. Pretending otherwise is kind of silly.

We traded him for Tiger Woods who is now considered white.

So if you're walking down the street and saw Obama coming the other way would you think he's white?

The best part is when someone call him African American


Right, if anything he's "Halfrican" - with nary a drop of slave blood.

Not that any of that matters to me, but the way he was - super, duper pardon the expression - "sold" to black folks in 2008 is laughable on its face.

Obama = black is the typical democrat double standard.

is because black society is more accepting,


And we know how entrichenched Obama is in black culture. The dude is whiter than Marky Mark at a KKK rally.

His nasty wife/husband.....different story.

The human genome doesn't support this view.

400 years of white people telling mixed race people they're black and not white followed by 8 years of white people complaining that mixed race people don't identify with their whiteness.

Trayvon Martin was black and Obama said he looked like his son. Therefore, Obama self identifies as black.

If you look "black", you are black. That's always been the rule. The old test was a brown paper bag.

The same question can and has been raised about Tiger Woods. The reason he and Obama both identify as black is because black society is more accepting, by necessity, than white society is.


you fricking dumbshit, Tiger Woods' other half isn't white either

As a matter of fact:

TIGER WOODS INVENTS 'CABLINASIAN'
The golfing champion went on to state that as a child he’d invented the term, “Cablinasian” to describe his parents multi-ethnicity and nationality — a mix of half Asian (Chinese and Thai), one-quarter African American, one-eighth Native American and one-eighth Dutch. He’d adopted the term as a way of honouring his mother Kultida (of Thai, Chinese and Dutch ancestry) as well as respecting all aspects of his cultural and racial heritage.


He is only 1/4th black - it is the fricking liberals who insist he is "African American" and they also got offended when he identified otherwise.
