I was reading this story and enjoying the read when I came to this statement:
Quote:
Obama has widespread appeal and a compelling story: His father was a member of Kenya's Luo tribe, born on the shores of Lake Victoria. He met Obama's mother, who was white, when both were students at the University of Hawaii.
I suddenly had a flashback to the Dave Chappelle show. There was a skit with racial drafting. Each race got to draft celebrities to claim. It was pretty amusing, escpecially when the Asians claimed the Wu Tang Clan.
But on a more serious note, why is it that anyone who is verifiably 1/16 or more black African descent can claim to be black? Anyone?
