I'm just curious. What do you all consider Barack Obama? I've been hearing nothing but he's a black guy, when he really is not...

Black = African American and nothing else.

His mother was white and his father was black.


Oh and just for shits and giggles, here is a pic of me. Would you call me mixed, white or black just based on my skin tone? lol

Mixed. But for the sake of argument, I'd say black compared to white.

No you are wrong.

Black has always been African American. It's until recently people with low intelligences have been calling multi racial people black.

Well I'd say black. But I know he's mixed really

And I'd call you black, but you look mixed.

Well, I know he's mixed so I'd say mixed, but he does look more African-American than mixed.

And that picture of you? Honestly, you look Hispanic to me, so that's what I could assume. The skin tone just makes me think that, because I grew up with a lot of Hispanic people, some that had skin dark enough to be considered Black lol. But if I didn't know what you were, I'd say you were Hispanic.

Haha I get called Hispanic a lot as well. I'm actually half white half black.

It was in the middle of the summer in this pic so I was pretty tanned at the time haha.

The old textbook definition described a black person as having even as little as 1/16'th black blood in the genes to qualify as black.

People who didn't even look black were black because someone in their family tree married a  black person.
