I mean that all people of color, no matter where they are from in the world, like to call themselves AA in the US. It is wrong. More wrong today than ever before. We have so many immigrants from other parts of the world who have dark skin that are lumped into the category of AA. It is wrong. If it were not wrong why wouldn't whites from SA be considered for the perks given to any person of color who claims to be AA?

I seem to recall him answering this question once with something along the lines of: when I am hailing a cab in New York, what colour do you think I am?

Don't lose hope. That was only an example of how people are being treated differently when they should not be. If I had it my no one would receive any perks.

We'll leave it to Michael Jackson to be white....Obama is black. k? He is an African American, and so is my nephew. And you know how lily white my ass is...My nephew will always be seen as black, especially since he's always around people that are so damned white. No matter where he is he will look black. (unless it's pitch black outside)
My nephew is black irish in the real sense of the word. But black he is..and unlike Michael Jackson, hopefully black he will remain. He's my cute little mulatto. Who cares...he's cute. Mulatto is not derrogotary. He's black and white. Call him oreo if it makes you feel better. Because he's my sweet little cookie.

Yes, but if you dunk him in milk, is he less crunchy?

I don't know. Are you? Let's test and find out shall we? That's awesome....
I do hear that milk baths are great for your skin...So please test this out and report back your findings.

Yeah, I don't see why everyone can't have coffee if they want it. Of all shades. I like mine with no sugar but a lot of milk. I guess Obama would be sort of like a latte.

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black

Nope, not me. But then, I'm not as old as McCain is.

The more interesting point: Michelle is descended from slaves; Barack is not.
