Lackluster Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 That's funny.. Serves him right. What's always amazed me though is how mixed race people can claim to be black or white. If the mums black and the dad white they are neither? Obama's not even black, or is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the distinction is lost on most people, mixed race people are seen as being 'black' and most choose to accept that description. As I mentioned before my (mixed race) children have Scottish ancestry and in many respects identify more readily with that than they do their West Indian roots, yet few people would look at them and think their grandad ever wore a kilt!

If the mums black and the dad white they are neither? Obama's not even black, or is he? According to the Old South (of USA),one-sixteenth African ancestry made you "black", even if you looked white. In the Old South, many "black" women had children by white men. Some of the children were so "white looking" that they passed for white. If they married undetected into the white community, people of "respectable white" families still had "black blood"; DNA can find this out!
