Something that bugs me about Obama's 'black' credentials...

Would we ever questions a person's 'white' credentials???

 

lol

 

"Barack Obama was born at Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States,to Stanley Ann Dunham,an American of predominantly English descent from Wichita, Kansas, and Barack Obama, Sr., a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya Colony. Obama is the first President to have been born in Hawaii. Obama's parents met in 1960 in a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii at M?noa, where his father was a foreign student on scholarship. The couple married on February 2, 1961, and Barack was born later that year.
His parents separated when he was two years old and they divorced in 1964. Obama Sr. remarried and returned to Kenya, visiting Barack in Hawaii only once, in 1971. He died in an automobile accident in 1982.


After her divorce, Dunham married Indonesian student Lolo Soetoro, who was attending college in Hawaii. When Suharto, a military leader in Soetoro's home country, came to power in 1967, all Indonesian students studying abroad were recalled and the family moved to the island nation. They lived in the Menteng area of Jakarta. From ages six to ten, Obama attended local schools in Jakarta, including Besuki Public School and St. Francis of Assisi School.

In 1971, Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Armour Dunham, and attended Punahou School, a private college preparatory school, from the fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979.
Obama's mother returned to Hawaii in 1972, remaining there until 1977 when she relocated to Indonesia to work as an anthropological field worker. She finally returned to Hawaii in 1994 and lived there for one year before dying of ovarian cancer."


There isn't any other president better for America as Barack Obama can relate not only to the blacks and whites but also the asians too as his stepfather who raised him was indonesian. Perfect for a multicultural country.

And Jaybee whether or not he knows what its like to be a "black american" as you say, he will always be seen that way to others and thats already 'black credential' in itself.
Go to America Jaybee and most certainly you will not be seen as a Indian with a white upbringing, you will just be seen as an indian. So get outta here with that black credential shit.

IMHO - I consider Barrack to be biracial, it two to create him so both should get the credit. 50/50


To me if a women carries you in her stomach for 9 months you are part of her also, his mother is white so that part should be recognized hence biracial.
