As is said many times in this forum, I was gunning for Ron Paul. Your "moral issue" and "enthralled" comments (as pertains to me) would be insubstantial. |

I just call em like I see em. Maybe you don't want to see it because you're enthralled by him. I almost got caught up in it too. But then I started to notice the things people were saying. |

I've actually never heard of that before. In any case we definitely wouldn't be calling him anything different if his mother was black and father was white. |

Yeah it's an interesting thing to look into. I'm trying to think of any celebs we know of who have parents like that... |

Those support O's point... I was hoping to find ones with a white father and a black mother! |

I wasn't questioning the historical significance of this event, I was merely pointing out that the event is significant because he's black, not because his genetic roots are in Africa. The halfness of his blackness is irrelevant because the significance lies in the fact that he is not fully white. |

I'm not sure I understand this. You're saying that the event is not significant because he's "African American," but because he's anything but white? |

Sorry, I phrased that wrong. I meant to say the same as you, as in: He is visibly part-black which is what is relevant. |

I have a different view on why this is historic I think... |

Do you understand what this statement actually implies? The only way to prove that there was no racial bias would be to look at a group like blacks and see what percentage of them voted for Obama. If it's close to the election results as a whole, then you're probably right. But if it turns out that 90% of blacks voted for Obama, then there definitely was racial bias. |
|
I think Obama's election is significant not only politically but also culturally. I believe America needs more black role models who are not rappers or gangsters. |

I liked his speech. He made a big thing peaceful foreign policy, and most interestingly of rescuing scientific progress... and he even said 'hi' to the atheists. So different from Bush. |
|
Though, in this particular instance, the semantics really aren't important. What I meant by the title was to bring reference to Obama's being (technically, even if only by rule of dominant gene) "black." "African-American" was the term that I used, because it is the term being most commonly used. I believe you got so stuck on the term itself that you missed the point. I was asking what people thought of all the talk of their being a "black" President. |

I enjoyed listening to the speech given by our first mulatto president. |

Oh OK sorry. |
