Much has been said about Barack Obama being the first African American to ever run for President of The United States of America.

I'm asking at this point why you never seem to hear about Baracks British anestry?

Barack was brought up by the British side of his family being his mother and Grandparents. In fact his African father left Barack at a very young age and had nothing to do with him.

I wonder why he isnt refered to as a British or european American instead of an African American. It seems like a slap in the face to the people that truly cared about him and were there on a daily basis to raise him.

Instead Barack is labled African American after the father who was not much more than a biological sperm donor.

I'm sure Ill get some comments!

well....he's not the first to run, but the first to be nominated, but in any event playing up the "white" part of him would not bode well with his message of "change".

Just think if on the African-American side of his family they found a Native-American ancestor, he could have run as a Neopolitan-American, then everyone would be happy.

Maby if he just wore the flag proudly after 9-11 , or , if he called himself American , or , went to a pro-American church , he would have made some of us happy .

I joked because I'm sick of the fact that if a first year senator, that showed no particular allegiance to our country and had white skin he never would have made it out of the gate. I joked because his speeches about change are smooth as sh!!t through a goose but say nothing. I joked because he is the new messiah and the whole thing shinks but there is nothing I can do about it except pray I'm wrong.

Didn't good ole Jesse Jackson run? NOBAMA is NOT the first African-American (or black, I hate poltical correctnes, I am part Indian (Walpole) NOT "Native-American, God I hate politcal correctness, I digress). But NOBAMA is NOT the first.

NON Reverand Jesse Jackson wasn't running for office Zoot_Suit. He heard that a young black man was given a $10.00 fine by a white judge for spray painting a building, and Jackson was running to a rally because he heard there was cameras there, and he wanted to beat Non Reverand Al Sharpton to the punch, because it was discrminatory to pick on that poor "black child" who has suffered through poverty and crime and hatred by the "White Man"....

A few jokes for NOBAMA....

"After a quick meet-and-greet with King Abdullah, Obama was off to Israel, where he made a quick stop at the manger in Bethlehem where he was born."
-------------------------------
"Barack Obama gave a speech in Germany and 200,000 people showed up. There were so many Germans shouting and screaming that France surrendered just in case."

So, you took off this holiday weekend and came back with this dumb retarded topic about his race and agendas, but you never accepted a challenge like he has. Obama is worthy, so wake up and get with the political program!!

What ever you my think, the fact is he is not truly 100% African-American. That brings up a point. Why say African-American. Should I be calling myself Jewish-American. Should the Scottish call themsleves Scottish-American. Why can't we just call ourselves, Americans?

Well it seems that most of you people who think you know what an Americans are really just stupid. People dont want to be single out because of their differences period. But the racist American people do. 1st of all People the only true American are the Indians people who were here! Second the color of his skin, what side of Eight mile that represents does not make a different! White/Black/Blue/Brown why should you care!! He is the better candidate period! So get over it! Listen to the words that are coming out of his mouth Instead of looking who at who God (& yes I said God!) sent us to get us out of this huge Bush Adminstartive Mess!

MiDevil----remember the Lord and Taylor fiasco about 10 years ago? Security guard kills a black man in a scuffle because that same black man had is young daughter steal a watch from that store(caught on tape mind you). Then the guard confronted the little girl, dad got mad and they fought in the parking lot where dad died. The "rev" triple J, and big Al were on the scene only to find out the security guard was a black man as well. Trip J couldn't skip town fast enough, but big Al hung around and tried to blame white Lord and Taylor management for having the guard kill the man. As if that man would kill one of his own race, in such a racially charged metro area because a white man told him to.
I'm embarassed for those who still support Al and Trip J. But anyone who does, and accepts their support are merely the staunch racists that the two bigot "revs" also are.

Obama himself has chosen to identify himself more with his blackness. His choice of spouse, church, place of residence all speak blackness loud and clear. And it is HIS choice after all. He has every right to decide for himself. If he has decided to ignore the rest of his heritage and he has.....that`s his business. He is the first African/American to win the presidential nomination of any political party.

Let us remember that 95% of all African-Americans in the United States are Bi-Racial or some say Mix Race. Regardless if your great-great-great Grandfather or Grandmother was a Slave or not. Why do you think African-Americans have such a variety of Skin Colors, and Hair textures. We are the children of the White Slave Owners. Slavery was a real event!!This will never change!!

Yes, Obama was raised under British rule. Yes, his father was African. Yes his mother was White. Get over it. If his desire is to call himself African-American that is fine by me.

Most African-Americans are the Biological Sperm of the White Man. This is a proven fact. My family is Black, White, Native American, Chinese, and Puerto Rican!! We are not Racists...we believe that everyone is a product of the Lord's Grace. We are truly Family, as are most people who call themselves "African-Americans".

I have been a democrat all my life and for the first time I am voting for a republican. His race means nothing. Unless you are a black voter. I have spoken to many black voters and they all say they are voting Obama simply because he is black. I thought the black community were more intelligent than that. They screamed for years that white people chose white leaders because they were white, now the blacks are choosing a black leader because he is black. How does this justify anything? Barak Obama is a Marxist with strong communist ideas and he will tax us to death to pay for his globalist plans and destroy this country and the black community does not seem to care about his political ideas only the color of his skin.
The race for the president of the United States should never be about race but about the best man for the job. McCain is that man.

The democrats are using Obama as a token black man, to parade him around in front of cameras and push the phrase "change"down our throats. When will the black community realize they are being played for fools by the democratic party? They knew if they found a black man who was believable that the liberal media would jump on his bandwagon and that people in poor communities would take a likening to him.
This race has always been about one person..Joe Biden. Both Barak and Joe were members of the senate foreign relations committee and both were running for president. When it was clear that Barak would be a front runner Biden pulled out of the race and simply sat back and waited for Barak to name him as V.P. Biden will be in control of this country and barak Obama will just be a figure head with a title.

Im a Emergency Medical Technician and in the last year I worked to pass a law to make it mandatory for all ambulances in the State of Michigan to carry Heart Defibrillators!!! In 2005 only around 20% of private ambulances carried them!!! Because I passed the law several organizations have me on a job black list and will not hire me!!! It doesnt matter because I recently became an EMT to save lives and by having Defibrillators on all ambulances many lives will be saved!!! In my spare time I also collect unusual antique stuff and I have a large Faygo collection dating back to 1921!!!
