I would consider you mixed.
I know plenty of people who have family lineage from just about every damn country in Europe. lol. So yes, I sort of understand what you mean. Still, I don't understand why people get so touchy about that. I have at least 3 Native American tribes somewhere in my family history. But we have no written evidence of that, only family accounts and some old photos. We have a very small
amount of Native American blood in us so therefore, I consider myself black.
But that's not the real point I was trying to make. Like I said
before, It's not a BAD thing. And it's fine if
you or anyone else wants to identify with just one race. But the real problem is is that
he's being hyped up as this 'Black guy' when that should NOT be the reason that people are voting for him. It's just irritating to have seemingly
everything in this election be linked to gender and race.
