I Do Love A Black And White Cookie.....



Someone help me out here. There is something that has been going on that I have NO comprehension of.

What is the big deal about a black man becoming president? Simply because we've never had a half black president? We've never had an Asian president, either. Or an American Indian president. You completely negate anything positive about Obama when you go on and on about there being a black man in the White House. You make it sound like that's the only reason you voted for him.

And he's not even black, he's half black. Obama is just as much white as he is black. He was raised completely by his white relatives. In school, the black kids beat up on the half black kids. Don't they call them "oreos" or something? But now the blacks are all "yee haw!" about a half black president? They probably beat Obama up in grade school and refused to acknowledge him as a real African American.

If it's a "hope" issue, that Obama being elected brings hope to all of the young black kids out there, I can't buy into that. Obama wasn't a young black kid, the way that you think of a young black kid. He was a young black kid, raised in a white environment. So the only lesson you learn is that if you're a young black kid, you better find yourself some nice white folk to raise you, if you want to become president. Don't know many young black kids in America who could relate...

Obama is smart and worked hard to get here. THAT should be what you talk about. Not the color of half of his skin. Let's get some perspective, folks...

Personally, I won't be happy until there's an Asian president. Or an American Indian president. Or a Cuban president. Or an Iraqi president. Or a one-legged ugly Russian transgendered pole-dancer president!! I can only hope!! Now THERE'S some change!



If we looked at Obama through the eyes of a Jew, he would be considered white, since in the Jewish culture, ethnicity is passed down through the mother.
