I was surprised to read and hear so many question Obama's race. Some folks say...well, he's just as White as he is Black, etc...
Well looking at the facts, I hope that this post will be the last in where this issue is raised (I should be so lucky!) -
Sen. Obama says he's Black. Check!
Sen. Obama is married to a Black woman. Check!
Sen. Obama is the father of two lovely Black Daughters. Check!
Sen. Obama was the first "BLACK" President of the Harvard Law Review back in 1990. No one claims different. Check!
http://www.answers.com/topic/harvard-law-reviewOBAMA IS A BLACK MAN, BECAUSE HE SAYS SO.....
IT REALLY IS JUST THAT SIMPLE.
FURTHER DEBATE ON THIS ISSUE JUST ISN'T REQUIRED.
Here are other Black Famous folks who have a White parent.
Has anyone questioned their Blackness? :shrug:
