You have to understand what it's like emotionally, especially for older people that have personally experienced major discrimination... My history teacher was talking in class today about how, when she was at Harvard Grad School, many teachers told her to her face that she must have been an "admission screw-up" or "affirmative action failure," despite the fact that she'd had an excellent GPA in high school and had made her way to Harvard in her own right. And some people lived with segregation... some marched with MLK... some had siblings or parents roughed up by the cops... It's an incredible time when you see it in the context of the 20th century, not just our generation.

I think he is the only president who can make raising taxes fun. I think he is very ignorant. All of the chacks and balances have gone out the window, because now pretty much all congress is now is democratic. Also he makes having a socialist government seem extordinary.

Don't be stupid. He's not only supporting blacks. I'm black and even I know this.

Just because he has black in him doesn't mean everything he does is for the benefit of African Americans. America isn't THAT corrupt.

1. I never even heard THAT story so please give a linl
2. If true then awesome sounds like he's about as mixed as I am! If not, he's mixed enough for me!


Stanley Ann Dunham was born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas[4] while her father was serving in the U.S. Army.[5] She was named after her father,[6] who gave his daughter and only child his name because he had wanted a boy. She was known as Stanley as a child and teenager and "endured the expected teasing over this indignity, but dutifully lugged the name through high school, apologizing for it each time she introduced herself in a new town", a profile in Time magazine stated.[1] However, the article continued, "By college, she had started introducing herself as Ann".[3]

Her parents, Madelyn Payne and Stanley Dunham, met in Wichita, Kansas, and married on May 5, 1940.[7] She had English and Irish heritage from her parents. She was a distant cousin of Vice President Dick Cheney, George Bush and Harry Truman.[

Barack Obama claims "Cherokee" ancestry through his mother's matrilinial line, and recently was adopted by the Crow tribe.
http://www.afrigeneas.org/forume/index.cgi?noframes;read=29978


Research into Obama's family tree on his mother's side has indicated that some of his ancestors arrived in America in the 1700s and even the 1600s.

Somewhere along the way, there was a Cherokee connection, according to Obama. He has reportedly stated that an ancestor was full-blood Cherokee.

"You know Ann was really, really white," smiled Suryakusuma, looking through the album, "even though she told me she had some Cherokee blood in her. I think she just loved people of a different skin colour, brown people."

No...

I may have said the original American natives may have been White, but having Amerind ancestry all depends on how much you have - and how you want to present it.

Bud2400 said he had some Native American ancestry and said he was white. So is he "part amerind"?

I am pretty sure abs listed Native American as one of his ancestry in his online profile somewhere. Is he "part Amerind"?

Yes.

Yes.


If you're part Amerind.. You're part Amerind.

Being part Amerind itself doesn't necessarily mean you're nonWhite - it's much more than 100% purity.

Then why are you arguing about it while I speak of Obama being half white?
