That's all I was saying.
Also, QUESTION?
Did any of our past presidents have other ethnicity's in them?
Just curious...
... I don't really want to go into this further, because
most people on here are Obama Supporters, so I guess
it's all just on your opinions.
Anyone supporting Obama won't understand where I'm
coming from and I won't understand where they're
coming from.
It's too much controversy.
Also, I don't think just because I'm "young" I won't
understand topics like this, because for my age, I'm
actually very mature and intelligent.

Well, he's not all black, not to sure how many African Americans in these days are "all black" even if they look darker than him. The sad fact is, people usually stick you in the group that is most dominantly shown in your physical attributes.. So Obviously, hes a person of color, his "Black" features are more dominant that his "white" features, most people would just call people who look like him a "light skinned black guy/girl" Bob Marley was lighter than Obama , but he was still considered black.. I guess we do this to keep the groups more simple, i dunno. I mix a see allot are Asian-Japanese/Spanish, usually, they're branded as Asian based on their looks, no 1 wants to start a new category called "Japanic"
Just for the record, im not a supporter, im not a citizen so i couldn't vote, i just understand why they are making a big deal out of it.
But from what I've seen you post, it seems as if your only gripe with him is he's "not all black" but i dunno. We can drop this
Now that he is actually the president people will stop talking about the color of his skin and how he made history. Now they will talk about what he has done, or is doing with the country.
