Obama's true colors: Black, white ... or neither?
The AP reporter Jesse Washington needed to fill out his weekend reporting duty and decided to tackle this life altering question. I am glad that people like Mr. Washington are still around to point out that race is still an issue and that, no matter how seemingly trivial, every issue surrounding race is of vital importance.
From the AP:
A perplexing new chapter is unfolding in Barack Obama's racial saga: Many people insist that "the first black president" is actually not black.
Debate over whether to call this son of a white Kansan and a black Kenyan biracial, African-American, mixed-race, half-and-half, multiracial — or, in Obama's own words, a "mutt" — has reached a crescendo since Obama's election shattered assumptions about race.
