Confused, your comments about Obama are so inaccurate; you obviously have had little social contact with the modern world. Obama is black man he married black women and relates to the culture as a black person. He doesn't go around saying I'm black are white that would be stupid and he's established he's not stupid. And yes he did use the fact that he was a black man to motivate many black and whites to vote for him. But that was not the bottom line for most voters, if being black was the primary qualification for the office, Jessie Jackson are Al Sharpton would be your commander chief.

Obama understands and identifies with the black community, illustrated by the fact that he spent his initial time as a community organizing working with poor black communities, he married a black women, He worshiped at a black church, how many white boys you know that are graduates from Harvard who marry black women and work in poor black communities.

So your acquainted with a couple of bi racial people and what cultured do they identify with, likely white, they have taught you noting, the culture you identify with most is what makes you black white are what ever, regardless of what you look like, Example my wife is half black and half Japanese she could pass for almost any race of color. But she identifies with black culture and prefers to relate to people as a black woman. That does not mean that she has turned her back on Japanese culture she simple is more comfortable with her blackness.

I was in Istanbul Turkey several years ago we were listening to this jazz band; at the end of the session I walked over to this guy who playing and complimented him on his talent I made the mistake of stating, "for a white boy he had a lot of soul". He had blond hair and blue eyes he was from stockhome, His response was, I'm not white, what he was inferring was White is an identity assigned to a class of American whom he didn't indentify with. Regardless of his skin color blue eyes and blond hair.
