Barack Obama always acknowledges the "white part" - apparently you haven't been paying attention.

But get real. In this United States of America, a person with as much black blood as Obama has (indeed, even considerably less) is considered and called black. That's how it's been for centuries. Obama didn't make the rules. This country - white people - made those rules to ensure that "mongrels" "tainted" with even "one drop" of African blood didn't slip into the wrong parts of society.

So, it's bullshit for people to all of a sudden complain about the "one drop" rule and insist that Obama walk around consistently calling himself half-white. He is, for all intents and purposes in this society that made the rules, a black man, even if his mother was white. And he has never, ever pretended otherwise. And he has never ever disowned his mother.

Shame on you.
