"Obama isn't our first Black president, he's our first Bi-Racial president. Get it straight". Look, stop being an ass. Up until this point, if you looked Black, you were Black. Why all of a sudden is this being emphasized. I'm mixed as well, but considering I look Black, people write me off as being Black. Obama is not entirely of African descent. We all know that. However, his wife, and his kids are Black. You cannot argue that at all. However, the POINT is, the guy that is now in the White House is the same guy who would have been in slavery back in the 1800's, or confined to segregated schools. That is why it's a big deal. Stop trying to undermine it. Besides, most Black people are not entirely of African descent anyways, considering all the race mixing during slavery and the native american wars. Black, nowadays, pretty much refers to how you look.

He is considered Black - but genetically a mulatto.

The Negro gene pool is about 30% White I've heard.
Black, nowadays, pretty much refers to how you look.
And how you act.

Apparently, he calls HIMSELF mixed: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5111168.ece" target="_top">http://http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5111168.ece
It must be the first time in recorded history that the leader of the Free World has proudly described himself as a “mutt”. At his first press conference as President-elect, Barack Obama sought to project the gravitas that his post requires. 
But obviously a lot of shelter dogs are mutts — like me.

A funny idea once occurred to me. Given that his father is Kenyan, and not a descendant of slaves, Barack Obama could feasibly be blacker than any Black American of slave-stock. 
But his mom would kill that purity, correct?
Uh, no. As you claim, most Black americans have about 30% white in them anyways. The number could be even higher, considering if you were to take a bunch of black people, they don't all look the same.
