I was speaking to a friend the other day, and we stared arguing about barack obama. my friend said that he doesnt know why people keep calling him black, he aint black, he is mixed race.

he believes that barack should stopcalling himself a black man and that the media should stop saying that he could become the first 'black president'. According to him obama is mixed race/biracial, therefore he cannot represent or speak for black people.

we both have contrasting views on mixed race people. My friend strongly questions their allegiance to the black race, whereas I believe that black is black and advocate the one drop rule.

i do admit that some mixed race people (especially those in britain) do not see themselves as black and despise the black blood running through their veins, but overall I do see most mixed race/biracial people as part of our race.

i just wanted to know what the members of the board think abouth mixed race people.

It is my opinion that if we look at our history of mixed race people, then we can easily learn how to deal with them. It is quite simple. They are "Black" or "African" if they want to be. By this I mean that they wholy identify with the endeavors and collectively uplift of our people. If they have the ideology of others in their mentality, then that person is a Trojan horse.

It is how many misguided Africans try to include Arabs just because at one time West Asia was resident of some of our most ancient classical Black civilizations, and so Arabs are naturally mixed people of African descent. However, these cultures were destroyed by Whites and half-breeds who infiltrated Black civilizations but still had an Indo-European mentality. When the White and Arab man first came to West Africa, many of us distrusted them. People such as the Yoruba called them "peeled men" because of their white skin. However, their were shotgun marriages through Islam that resulted in Arab-African unions. These half-breeds had allegiances to Arabs and Islam, and not to the traditional culture of their African people. This facilitated the most tragic period of African slave history still going strong forabout 1,400 years. To this very day, we still must question the allegiances because we see the same thing going on today in Morocco, Mauratania, Sudan,Somalia, and Chad. Looking at ancient Asia, then there is how the majority Black people of India (the Untouchables) became the lowest cast through the infiltration of Aryans and half-breeds in the ancient civilization. There were many documented half-breed traitors in West Africa helping the British kidnap Africans. Then there are many so called African-Americans who are mixed that are called "Uncle Toms". However, in my opinion, they just chose their European side instead of their African ancestry to identify with.

It may seem bad to do it, but we must simply analyze carefully all mixed people who come to us to discern their mentality and allegiances.
