What's wrong with Barack Obama being a Mulatto and calling him Black or African-American ?

Question

half Black

half White

what half is more important?

If White is more important, call him white

If lack is more important, call him Black

If both halves are important call him Mulatto!!!!!!

Answer 1

The man was born in 61' so unfortunately he grew up during a decade where he would have been defined mostly as black considering there was still segregation in schools.

Answer 2

I don't have a problem with it.  I guess it's his decision.

Answer 3

The half that does best for America.

Answer 4

Just dont call him late for dinner...

He is a human not defined by color ya think !!!

Answer 5

I prefer not to call the man a mule.  He's Black.  He's White.  He's biracial.  What difference does it make?

Answer 6

Calling him black would be an incorrect denomination.

Answer 7

Nobody in the United States uses the term "mulatto" anymore, Junior.

He is "african american"...his father was african, and his wonderful mother was american.

btw, if she were alive today, you best watch yourself, that's what I'm sayin'

NOW......."DEAL", as we say, old skool.

Or, get to steppin'

The times, they are a changin.

Answer 8

In America if you look black then you are black regardless of what blood you have mixed in you.

Just look at Tiger Woods, he's mixed just like Barack Obama is and even though he has a white parent, he is defined as a African American/ Black even though he's mixed because he looks black.

People don't even use the term Mulatto to describe individuals anymore.

In America you are what you look like. If you look white you're white and if you look black then you're black regardless of what you are mixed with.

However, the correct term to use would be Mulatto.

Answer 9

A rose by any other name.... I believe there are names or terms for all the different racial mixes. But in our society we generally consider anyone with any percentage of ***** blood to be a *****. They can call themselves whatever they wish. It has very liitle affect on how they are viewed.
