Obama, is it correct to call him black?

[flat spot]

Thing is it's starting to grate on me a bit. As far as I'm aware he has a white Mother (of English/Irish decent) and black Father. Surely that means he's bi-racial or of mixed race or multi-racial.

In my eyes that's as much white as black. Why don't they call him a white President? People would be up in arms over that, yet no one seems to pick up on him being called a black President which he clearly isn't.

Anyway for some reason it pisses me off.

The End.

Its best to not call him anything ... as it changes so often.

Not that long ago it was offensive to call someone black ... and I remember seeing a prominent public figure on tv say " I am a man of colour.. I am coloured".
Call someone coloured now and you are likely to be cut down sharpish.

However, with the current slant on ethnicity terms .. and given someone that has white English and Indian parents is called Anglo Indian .... surely Mr.Obama is Anglo African ?

But from now on he will only be answering to Mr. President

Well, he's not Black. Black is the colour of this text.

He's more of a light brown.

The colour of him is irrelevant (and much of it is lost anyway by the gleaming shine from his oversized, overwhitened teeth).

What should be of concern is the ragtag bunch of crazies that he's put in to his cabinet. They might as well have been picked straight from Operation Paperclip (wiki it if you don't know what I'm on about).

I hate to say it and I don't like being so cynical, but he may just be a trojan horse, a wolf in sheeps clothing for the usual people...

I wait and hope to be proven wrong...

And no, he's not black, he's mixed race. But its still a pretty huge step forward for the American people so its a bit moot as an argument.

Perhaps it is with these innocuous items we are to be chained... All those folks making paperclip chains in the office... (Civil servants mostly...) Its for our shackles...

Mark my words...

Right, just to show the duplicity and how dumb they think we are.

From Obama's website:

Barack Obama will responsibly end the war in Iraq:
Immediately upon taking office, Obama will give his Secretary of Defense and military commanders a new mission in Iraq: successfully ending the war. The removal of our troops will be responsible and phased.

https://www.barackobama.com/issues/iraq/

And from recent Washington Post

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Barack Obama intends to sign off on Pentagon plans to send up to 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan to help buy time for the new administration to reappraise the war effort, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/13/AR2009011300097.html

So, quick analysis. He pledged all along to get US troops out of Iraq with a carefully crafted 'end the war' stance to neutralise competition but as soon as he has one foot in the door he's calling for 30,000 more troops for neighbouring Afghanistan.

Very slick. What I give in one hand, I take away with the other.

So operation paper clip doesn't really have much to do with it as in the operation, just those that were brought out.
A very poor link if there ever was one.

Nevermind, it gave the impression you were being radical and that's all that matters.
