From four years ago and this date forward the nappy-haired half-white boy carries the blame.
You raise an interesting point, BB. I too have wondered why if this guy has one white parent and one black parent, he is automatically black. Who makes that call? And how far down the genetic line does that logic carry? I worked with a fellow of hispanic descent. But his mother was white, and his father hispanic. I asked him more than once why he referred to himself as hispanic. He always answered..."There are benefits". He married a blonde swedish woman and still chuckled that his kids got breaks....big breaks at great universities...... on college tuition and such because they were considered hispanic. He takes advantage of the system because that's how the system operates.
I suppose that perhaps I'm in order for some great land acquisition because there was some Indian blood in my past, but don't figure I'll push the issue. And I don't refer to myself as Native American.
Just for fun, I think I'll refer to the president as white from now on.
