I agree with you Phoenix. Your absolutely right. I look white but I'm Norwegian and not very many people know it because they cant tell the difference. See? The skin is a stupid physical mix up and people should grow out of this accostomed racist factor, and get over themselves. We've all got the same organs, same feelings and same human genealogy. [Despite some people pathetic beliefs] So then what does it matter that some people were born in a different part of the world than others? It doesn't.

Taking a look back through the presidents that had some undeclared black bloodlines, I dont really see any of them that LOOk African American in appearance.

Obama has black heritage and it has been recognized. Thats the truth.

The other presidents that had black heritage were not recognized, and appeared to be white men.

I ask anyone, to look up the following presidents ( Abe Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Warren Harding or Calvin Coolidge ) and present to me that if you saw them on the street that you would absolutely without a doubt think they were African American.

My point being, that there are those that would seek to discredit Obama of this achievement. Yet, I might assert, that he will be the first ever African American president, that has had to overcome the race card regarding himself in running his election.

To him do I give credit for that benchmark.

Peace

I wouldn't have posted had I seen Rockpuck's images posted earlier within this thread.
It pays to read through the pages of responses at times. My apology.

Well done.

Peace
