How black does one have to be in order to be President?

In a lot of ways we have a long way from when blacks had to use different water fountains or being denied such simple pleasures like going to a movie theater but we sure have a long way to go when a silly racist debate such as the one described in the article is carried on. Even though it appears some blacks are taking part in it, the debate at its core is still racist.

(And yes, I am talking about my party for anyone who keeps up with sort of thing.)

No. He should definitely get a tanning package at the local spa.

What a ridiculous debate. Why does it even matter?

It does matter when people go to vote since Hillary and Obama are competing for the Black vote.

I find Obama to be more of a light mocha myself.

I know, the debate on whether to vote "black" is ridiculous.

Every candidate is competing for the black vote.

Well, every candidate except the Republican ones.

When is being black black enough? It's a silly question to begin with but we all knew it would be asked. I don't think it matters. Remember MLK said we should live in a country where we are not judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our person.

I have 2 sons who are mixed. My wife is black and white. Would my sons qualify for black college education funding? They don't look black, so when is black black enough?

Can't we just calculate this by how many illegitimate children he has fathered?

Just kidding, praise Allah.

But seriously, what a educated way to decide who to vote for. How black they are. We need a president who "feels the pain" of knowing a distant relative was a slave.

I would assume that if your sons checked "black", on their college application, they would qualify.

Will be interesting to see won't it. I have a feeling that the way this country works if they do mark black and then show up and don't look black I'm sure they will get turned away for not being black enough.

When I was going to college, my lab partner was a middle class Jewish guy who had emigrated from Cuba because of Castro. On the last day of applications, I talked him into applying for the Ph.D program in psychology at the university. In fact, I walked him to the registrar.

They took 25 people out of 800 applications. He got right in under the separate Affirmative Action list, because he listed himself as Hispanic.

I was thrilled to pieces for him (and not just a little bit jealous!)

He should hang with Nuge. Maybe some of Ted's blackness might rub off on him.

Yaphet Kotto for president!!!

As well as being one of my favorite actors.....not only is he a dark brother, he is also Jewish, and backed Steve Forbes in his bid for the white house. A lot of bases covered right there.

If we are going to put a "black" man in office, lets do it right.

I thought we already put a black man in office. Wasn't Clinton called the first black man in the White House.

Only if putting shoe polish on his willy counts.

Or can't we just run his credit to find out?

Is this affimative action. He gets extra votes for being black enough. What happend to experience, and his political history. All I am saying is voting for an individual to the most powerful office in the world based upon his color is a travisty.
