Why do some blacc people hate obama so much?

[Northern Son]

lol my bad bruh. I made that post 10 minutes after I woke up. I clearly read it wrong. That post was mostly directed towards Jenny anyways.

It's all good, man. I kind of overreacted.

the general masses of society are retards

this is why religion exist, to keep them in check.

So he is black because the racist white man says he is? LOL @ letting racist white people define who you are. White people say you aren't as good as them. I guess we should just go along with that too huh?




Obama looks the way he does because of his mixed heritage.

LOL @ Bringing up Nelson Mandela. There are several different ethnic groups in Africa. Thinking all Africans belong to the same ethnic group is just as ignorant. Its like comparing a man from India and a person from China. Yeah, they are both Asians, but they are from completely two different backgrounds. Same shyt. Obama does not look like the Luo people, because his mother is a fukking white woman.

Luo People. The ethnic group which Obama's father was a part of.

Obama looks like a black man. He doesn't look like the Luo people but he definitely looks like other blacks. My father is lighter than Obama and he is a full black man. Being light skinned does not make you more or less black.

He may look different from his dad because of his mothers blood, but to say he doesn't look black is stupid. There are many blacks all over the world who look similar to Obama and they do not have a white parent.

What is your real problem?

He identifies as both African American and black. Why are you so bent on what he chooses to call himself?.......unless it obviously affects you in some way. You don't want to call yourself black, then don't. My family doesn't and you don't have to either.

But you can't change the way Obama chooses to identify himself just to make you feel better about your own situation.

So you are saying Obama is a black man because he looks black? So do you consider these people white even though they have at least one black grandparent?

lol at you pulling pictures trying to prove a point. It ain't working. Everyone knows who those people are. They look like some of my fam so I can easily tell the difference (except for the last guy). But they could try to pass if they wanted. Plus, why are you posting the pics of people with a black grandparent? That has nothing to do with Obama.



Obama calls HIMSELF black and African American. The fact that he looks black just adds to it.

You got a problem with the way he views himself then take it up with him.

Interesting how you won't answer the question. You can tell the difference with those white looking people? But you can't tell the difference when it comes to Obama? That says a lot.

White people did a number on ignorant motherfukkers like yourself. You have to be 100% white to be white, but you can have any percentage of negro blood to be black and you people just ate it up.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

What I wana know is, if obama isn't black then why did 94% of black folks vote for him?

Why did young jeezy make a track called "my president is black?"


Why does barack get so much love & support from the black community?

Here's the reality and bottom line Barack is a black man, he is considered a black man in america. That can't be refuted or disputed or argued. I didn't make the rules up, that's just how it is. Anybody disagreeing with that is honestly clueless or too gatdamn stubborn to recognize the real

 

[The Nigerian]

Obama is black enough to have this discussion and black enough to be hated for the colour of his skin.

lol at you I can tell the difference because they look like my fam. Or did you purposely ignore when I said that?

Obama looks like a black guy to me and most people I know. Didn't even know his mom was white until I read his book. Black people come in all different skin tones. So yeah, I didn't know.

You want to call yourself white or mixed or biracial, then do it. Nothing is holding you back nicca. Ain't nothing wrong with it. I encourage my fam to do whatever makes them feel good.

But don't try to change the way Obama views himself. How are you going to get mad at people for calling him black when he is the one who claimed it? And how are you going to get mad at people for saying he looks black? Its not my fault he looks the way he does. lmao

You edited your post. But that says a lot. We are trained to tell a 100% white person apart from a 80% white person. How many times have we heard that person isn't white, he is mixed/called his non-white race?

I would never call myself white. That be would disrespectful to my black heritage.

I hate the reason why they call him black. The one drop rule is one of the most racist things ever created. Its right next to the n-word.

I call him black because he calls himself black and he actually looks black in my opinion. Would have never known if I didn't read his book. Not because of a one drop rule. Can't speak for anyone else.


But since you brought up the one drop rule, what is it about that rule that makes it so disturbing to you (besides obvious racism)? I just want your opinion. I'm not going to argue or anything. I only ever hear about this rule when I am online. No one ever really discusses it.

 

[SouthernBelle]

I do not go by the stupid one drop rule. You are obviously #2 .

Obama calls himself black and African American. Who are you to tell him what he is?

It doesn't matter if he chooses to go by just black or biracial black, he is still part black and he looks black. This obviously shaped his life in some way or he would never identify with those two terms so strongly in his books.

That is the way I feel about it. Race is a social, not biological, construct. There were biracial people at my college who clearly did not identify as black and that was there prerogative. No one forced them to. Barack Obama actually grew into his black identity and that is the way he chooses to identify based on his lived experiences (despite being raised by his white family). I will not argue with someone about their racial identity.

 

[emoney]

they dont even realize they're supporting white supremacy


they believe it's black supremacy. which is why so many black men are confused, and believe they can create a black child with a non-black woman.

exactly!

this is the mistake a lot of Black men are making. The objective is to keep what we have acquired and that's kind of hard to do when your marrying and procreating with women of other races. Look at guys like Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant and Russell Simmons...all it takes is for their children to marry a non-Black people and POOOF....all their hard earned wealth is out of the hands of Black people.

 

[emoney]

I'm African. Of course I know there's a lot of diversity in African phenotypes, I even mentioned that in the same fukking post you quoted. I mentioned Mandela and the fact that I have light skinned relatives to PROVE the point that Africans do not all look the same. I was agreeing with you .

I know that Obama's father is a Nilotic man of the Luo tribe, I'm saying that the guys in this thread claiming Obama doesn't look "African" are narrowing the definition to include only one look (extremely dark and stereotypically Nilotic). No shyt Obama doesn't look like his father or the "typical" Luo man, but there are unmixed Africans like South Africans with Khoisan admixture, Igbos, and Horn of Africa people that look a bit like Barack for whatever reason, so it's not entirely accurate to say he doesn't look African.

The fact that his mother is white and gave him his light complexion and long face goes without saying (as in, that's motherfukking obvious so I didn't mention it). What the fukk do you take me for?

Those groups are dark skinned for the most part.

And if you go to South East Nigeria where Igbos originate from they are mostly Chocolate Brown skinned.

In the Horn of Africa, which includes Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti they are mostly dark-skinned people. It's only groups like the Habesha, Raishada for example who are historical immigrants from Arabia who are light-skinned. Somalis, Oromos, Afars (related ethnic groups) are dark-skinned for the most part.
