I love those beautiful eyes. I think if people were to realize how blended most of our DNA really is, this whole race issue would be a thing of the past. I really hope people become more focused on the issues and the proposed platform than the “race”. I pulled the previous comment because it was mostly intended for you to read. I know you are a private person and feel passionately about the political debate or you would not be discussing your family. I admire and respect your honesty. I did not want to offend the Japanese by implying that they are racist. My husband was mistreated in the orphanage and I do not know if it was because it was the early sixties or because he was an orphan in Japan who looked white. It was a Catholic orphanage. We are just grateful he was adopted.

June 6, 2008 at 10:19 AM #218287(former)FormerSanDieganParticipantUnless 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.

June 6, 2008 at 10:45 AM #218330AecetiaParticipantMy mother was also born in Kansas in the early part of the last century. I found a lot of information on her family by using ancestor.com. It was quite fascinating. I believe in 2012, the U.S. government plans to release some more census records, so that should help those who are doing family research.
