Tonnington, when your genes/blood/skin etc. were contributed in EQUAL measure by one white and one black parent, you indeed have a choice to declare yourself as either black or white.
In our current politically correct, corrupt and spineless atmosphere, it was obvious to Obama that claiming to be black was more honourable, and even more importantly, more profitable to throw the white folks who loved him, raised him and stood by him under the bus, while the black side of his family abandonded him, than being white, because being white you are automatically guilty, while being black gives you protection from any and all criticism.
Must hand it to him: He knew exactly how to read the political climate.
Goober, calling a half-breed a half-breed the courageous and proper thing to do. Castigated someone for it, is the act of a coward who run out of logic and reason to support his weak argument. It may irk you, but I have no regret about coming to Canada, and neither have any of the people who know me. And I have absolutely no desire to go back.
BTW, thanks for calling me a racist. Coming from you I will wear that as a badge of honour.
Maybe this should be in the "Fun & Jokes" Forum:
A guy buys a car. Driving off the lot, he wants to turn on the radio and to his astonishment, finds that there is no on/off button for the radio. So, he drives right back to complain.
The salesman says: "Sir, this car and everything in it is a wonder of modern day technology. Your radio, for instance, is totally voice controlled. Observe, he says, and says Mozart, and immediately the sounds of Eine Kleine Nacht Music comes on the radio. Then he says Elton John, and right away there is Blue Eyes. Then he says: 1812 and the cannon sounds of the famous overture dominate the air in the car.
Well, the guy is convinced. He drives off the lot once again. As soon as he hits the street another driver just about nips him. "ASSHOLE!" he shouts. And immediately the radio comes on: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States!"
