Unless you’re black, you don’t share in Obama’s ethnicity. But, you can put on black face and pretent to if you want.
I was not pretending anything. Since his Mom was from Kansas (and her parents also were from there), as my mother and her parents were, there is even a possibility that we are somehow related. After all, how many people lived in Kansas 40-50 years ago ? I need to research this issue.
So, we do share some European ancestry somewhere. Whether he or others consider this part of his ethnic make-up is another matter.
But, to me race is not really the driving issue in this election. My main concerns are how we can move forward as a country and recover America’s dignity and respect from the rest of the world, while also promoting a more prosperous and growing economy. My problem is that I think Obama aids in providing an opporunity for a fresh start on the former issue, but may not be the best candidate on the latter issue.
