Be black and speak about the origin are not the same thing..Obama dad is from Kenya THAT ALL...this guy is American or Not???

For me he's just a Black American .There no way to speak about where he's from and why he's here lol
In America half Asians are not called Asians, half Mexicans are not called Mexicans. Monikers are stupid. If people live in America, they are Americans. Hyphenated Americans seem to feel it necessary to point out differences rather than look for commonalities.

I'm mixed up myself, most of my blood is Indian (Native-American to those fond of hyphenated "titles"), but I see my identity as American, and nothing else.
