When will people understand that O'bama is not a black candidate? Having a black parent and a white parent, he is as much a white candidate as a black one. If he is not playing the race card, why does he run as a black candidate?? For the back vote!! Not because of his qualifications...but just because he presents himself as black! Should a man of this deception be our next president?

So if Bill was the 1st black President, that' would make Hillary the 1st black female president? This gets complicated on the Democrat side. Whew....... Where does it stop?
Jan1305: But Ship why shouldn't he want the black vote? All politicians, black or white, chase after and pander to everyone who makes up the electorate.
I don't think he is being deceptive in the slightest, he has every reason to call himself black if he wishes.
Had Bill known he the hispanic poplulation would suprass the black population, he would have been the first Mexican President.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. I don't pretend to be an expert in US politics but politicians are the same wherever you come from and they will sell their souls for votes.
Ship if it's just that you don't like the guy, say so, but I don't think you can call it serious deception.

My question is why is he calling himself black...when he is just as white!!

Exactly where did I say I did not like O'Bama???????

It happens all the time...In Canada people call themselves Native too when they are both Native and Caucasian because for some reason it's now the "in" thing to be Native and they tend to identify more with what they see as the benefits of being Native such as not paying tax etc. then the actual heritage end of who they really are...
These are the same people who 30 years ago were calling themselved Caycasian because it was shameful to be Native because there was sooooo much discrmination etc...So I guess my point is...those who don't recognize all parts of who they are often use whatever part will benefit them the most...HMMMMMMMMM...I think that says alot about a person!!!!!!!!
