I have posted on this before, but thought I would do so again since reading this exchange between jmbo35660 and SaltyDog from the "There could be trouble" thread:
"As far as being a race issue, why is it that people forget Obama is half white? The Blacks call him a Black man. I guess if they are voting for him just because he's Black then they ignore the White half. If he wins, can we Whites ignore the Black half and just support the White half? Why aren't we White people demanding our half and calling him a White man?"
"His momma is white along with his grandmother who raised him. But, he calls himself a black man. Who knows where the black man, his daddy is? Obama is not stupid. He played the card that would get him elected."
"His father passed away, but he left Obama when he was two and they were never even close. Therefore, I think we can just erase the Black half altogether. After all, the White part of his family made him what he is today because they raised him."
Please, for anyone with questions like these, read up on the One Drop Rule, and the Office of Management and Budget's Statistical Directive 15. You will learn that our government is the cause of Obama being considered as a black man.
There is much information to be had through a Google search; here are some links:

From "One Drop of Blood" by Lawrence Wright:
"...were identified simply as black because of a peculiarly American institution known informally as "the one-drop rule," which defines as black a person with as little as a single drop of "black blood." This notion derives from a long discredited belief that each race had its own blood type, which was correlated with physical appearance and social behavior. The antebellum South promoted the rule as a way of enlarging the slave population with the children of slaveholders. By the nineteen-twenties, in Jim Crow America the one- drop rule was well established as the law of the land. It still is, according to a United States Supreme Court decision as late as 1986, which refused to review a lower court's ruling that a Louisiana woman whose great-great-great-great-grandmother had been the mistress of a French planter was black--even though that proportion of her ancestry amounted to no more than three thirty- seconds of her genetic heritage."
Do yourself a favor and at least skim over some of this, and get informed.
