You know what's funny about this whole thing? Black people, for years, have fought for equal rights, as they didn't want to be judged for the color of their skin. For years, they have wanted people to look at them for who they are and not for the color of their skin. But, now, since Barack Obama is our President, all you hear is...
We have a BLACK President!
Umm...ok. I thought you didn't want us to notice the color of your skin, but uh...maybe I was wrong? :dunno:
I think that there is a difference between
judge by the color of the skin, and to
notice that color.
And it all won't be so wrong, but it seems that some people are not satisfied with that level of
equal rights. They do not want to be judged by their color - which is normal desire - but they also want to be
appreciated by the color of their skin. And this is equally stupid both for white-pride skins and black-pride whoevers.
So when someone is proud way too much of a black president it is as suspicous, as if someone were proud too much of the white one, just cuz he's white.
PS: as for your question about his dad and mom... the answer is simple enough: black genes are dominant, so even when mother is white, the kid is not 50% white and 50% black. In fact he is black for much more than a half, due to the dominant genes of black people. just biology, no politics.
