I’m curious about something. Why is it that Barak Obama is constantly being referred to as a “black” man? He has a black father and a white mother. So, why does that make him black? Wouldn’t it be funny if the media referred to him as a “white” man? It is entirely possible. He is just as much a white man as he is a black man.
Not that it matters. It certainly doesn’t matter to me what color someone skin is, but it just seems a little odd that he is represented in this way.
Kinda like the “African-American” thing. How anyone who has black skin is referred to as an “African American” when not everyone with dark skin is a descendant of Africa. People think I’m being silly when I say that my daughter is an African-American but even though her skin is white, she really is an African-American. I’m an American, her father is an African, therefore she is an African-American.
I guess it is just one of those weird things that we do. Who knows.
