And Obama is as white as he is black—probably more white than black when you think of his family. Are we now back to the “one ounce” rule or the 3/5th of a person rule to define “blackness.” Talk about racism.
=========================
I agree with your post.
It’s not the best of reasons, but Jews have been able to reach the highest levels of governmental power (and contribute significantly) and been there for quite some time historically.
I think though, that we all know blacks did not invent the “one drop rule” that says Obama is black.
I am not quite sure many whites would naturally see much of themselves in him (or other mixed-race people) even though he is half white. I think with time, attitudes will change though.
