OT – Obama Is Half White

It seems pretty racist to me to call him black if he has a drop of non-white in him.[/quote]

Actually, nearly all Blacks who are descendants of slaves have some White in them. Michelle Obama does.

Back then, there were plenty of rapes and interracial relationships on the plantation.

If you look at Brazil, you’ll see a population where Europeans interbred with Blacks and Indians. The same happened to a much small extent in USA.

The one-drop rule was applied by whites to keep Blacks from gaining white privileges and social standing.

I happen to think that people of mixed races are beautiful. Whites are prone to ugly wrinkles and blotches, but Blacks and Mixed have nice smooth skin.

I believe that you make a very good point. It can be positive and inclusive.

However, it depends on the context. Some conservative posters here have said some disparaging things about Obama while using the half-white-half-black line.

Here is what Rush Limbaugh said:

It is offensive to the sensibilities of millions of people to hear a member of the state-run media refer to a half-black, half-white human being with no experience running anything of substance referred to as a god. He may be president of the United States, but he’s not a god.

I don’t get it.. does mentioning to people that Obama is not a god somehow offensive or disparaging? I consider it more a rhetorical statement made by Rush.. containing no real new content. Obama is not a god (though some in the media seem to portray him as nearly such). I think you need to find a better Rush quote to show Rush’s rush to judgment. There should be plenty because he opens his mouth before engaging brain.

I happen to think that people of mixed races are beautiful. Whites are prone to ugly wrinkles and blotches, but Blacks and Mixed have nice smooth skin.

Some Whites are prone, some aren’t. I have seen 50+ year old whites with no blemishes on their skin at the same time seeing Blacks and Asians with sun damaged skin at 35. It depends upon how well you take care of yourself. Blacks also bring into the mix the higher probability of sickle cell anemia. Despite what the ‘race purists’ like to state, mixing can actually strengthen, not weaken humans. The ‘mixing’ reduces the chance of recessive gene health problems.

One thing I do find ironic about some of the white ‘purists’ is their hard work at getting a tan while at the same time being disparaging of those whose tan comes genetically.
