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.

I totally agree Flash, I and my mate were discussing this subject just today. Mixed race people are turning out to be one of the most racist set of people next to the indians and the whites. Some of the comments, and the way they express them are coming directly from their white side. They would rather be seen with a white partner than a black or they stick soley with their own purely for racist beliefs and is on par with the so called Coloureds in South Africa.
White people cannot be trusted around black kids whether they are mixed or adopted.
I know a black girl that was adopted by whites and was constantly told that she is not to marry a black man when she is old enough, so imagine what they tell their mixed raced children. No wonder they are mentally not stable people. Anyway that girl married my cousin and now have a big house in Florida. One in the eye of her racist white adopters.
Funny though, mixed race people back in the old days were more black than modern day and were always considered black.
