Obama's Race

Anyone heard anything about this?

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro).

Huh?
You're not serious with this, I hope.

Don't believe everything you hear, JT.

Good grief. Karl Rove isn't responsible for EVERYTHING!!

Are you bitter because Karl Rove beat the Democrats over and over like a rented mule?

Let it go, Light.
Just...let it go.

Re: Obama's Race

More than his race, it's his associations!

Elian Gonzalez saga could haunt Obama
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11295.html

Having two top advisers who played key roles in the episode — Greg Craig, who represented Gonzalez's father in Cuba, and Eric Holder, then a Clinton administration deputy attorney general when federal agents stormed the Miami home of Gonzalez’s relatives to remove the then-6-year-old and return him to Cuba Obama now finds himself on the wrong side of an emotional issue in a battleground state.
Greg Craig - serves as Obama's foreign policy

Eric Holder - is a legal adviser and a member of the Illinois senator’s vice presidential search committee.

Re: Obama's Race

Did anyone notice that Michelle WAS NOT at the 9-11 ceremonies?

According to the Obama campaign, she was home in Chicago with her daughters, on account of school just started. First, she was campaigning in Ohio on 9/10, in Indiana earlier in the week, so why this particular, so important day to be home with the kids?

Just wondering?

I've seen that a few places before.
I wonder how accurate it is.
I wonder how a person's "race" or "ethnicity" can be broken down so minutely.

It is my undetstanding that Barack Obama is as much Caucasian or white as he is anything else. He just chooses to classify himself as "African American." Aren't we as American citizens legally allowed to classify ourselves by any race or gender we want to?

Also, how "pure" are any ethnic groups?
From what I understand, my background is Irish/English/American Indian on my Dad's side and German/English on my Mom's side. What does that make me? I consider myself Caucasian or White.

How racially "pure" are any American Indians or African Americans in this country with a couple of centuries of inter-marriage and rape in their backgrounds?

Really, does it matter?

I think we have more pure Native American's than we do any others.
