he was a victim of white supremacy, doesn't mean we should allow ourselves to continue fall victim to the one drop rule.

You are one of the worst posters here goddamn. Obama is black, race is a social construct. He identifies himself with black experience in america. End of the fukking story.

So what qualifies as black to you? Race is obviously not genetic, so does one have to fit some type of arbitrary phenotype to be considered black?

There is no race constitution or bible, if a person looks black ethnically. They can call themselves black especially in america where most of the black population is not pure african. You sound just as bad as white supremacists.
i understand it, they're mixed w/black and faught hard for civil rights because they were classified as such -- that doesn't make them black.
as the mixed race increases, they will eventually want to detach from this 'automatically black' stigma. y'all sound stupid rejecting an entire half of ones race, just pure blind ignorance. funny part is when y'all end up having 2 generations of children that partner up with white folks, your going to end up being the black grand parent in a rest home no one talks about.
You are aware that most blacks a nice amount of European DNA in them right.
do most blacks have a white mother
Most blacks as black including African blacks?

Revisit the "most" word you used there.
FAIL
do most blacks have a white mother
So what does that matter? Don't ignore the post where I said that race is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. There are no guidelines for what you want to declare your race as especially in america. I don't subscribe to your thoughts on race because it's both wrong and ignorant.
maybe white supremacist are onto something
but nah, y'all keep letting white folks push these mixed breeds off as black american lite.

@marcuz Lets test your stance here.
On paper i'm half black...but I was culturally raised black, claim black at all times, even when times are bad and the woman I plan on building a future with is black. I keep my talents, my seed and my resources within the black community. Sorry to tell you but many men and women who are considered black pioneers have a background similar to mine.
What exactly are you looking for?

so if i mixed red with green, it's still red, right? because that's how wrong and ignorant YOU sound to me

lol mix breeds that's the type of shyt white supremacists say. Get out of here c00n. If a person has a white parent but identifies with his blackness more than socially he/she should be allowed to call themselves black. I won't force anyone who is biracial to be black but I also won't reject them either.

Politically yes. Biologically no. Still allowing white racism to dictate to how we identify is troubling. You guys oversimplify a very complicated discussion. White racists view all black people negatively but there's levels to racism. Not all racism is the same. Some acknowledge that he has a white mother which means they don't believe as @kermit da hustla a black person can be prominent without that white touch.
"Obama isn't really black" These are all things that are equally racist. One a person who says that isn't factually wrong but they are implying what's mentioned above.
You have light skin privilege that usually follows mixed raced heritage. Politically he is black though because he was born at a time where "colored" was still used on birth certificates. Today in 2013 where people are increasingly representing their mixed raced heritage you start to see what's happening politically and socially and that's an ever increasing anti-black America. You can be a little black, but not too black.
Black women have seen their image diluted something serious by mixed raced "black" women solely identifying as black.What you are trying to describe is the physical change, I'm talking about socially here. Can you understand that?
