He's half black and half white. How can he claim exclusive identity with
just one race?

Tiger woods is more asian than black.

Are you forgetting the "one drop rule"? Or just this country's racist
past?

Do you still hold to that? Most thinking people today don't.

So I suppose the inheritors of the GOP southern strategy are not
thinking people, eh?

BTW, do you know how many black delegates there were at the GOP convention?

The GOP is the party of white people.

Bertie is part and parcel of this country's racism, as is Herring, if
you haven't noticed. When he was working as a substitute teacher,
Herring made all manner of disparaging remarks about the blacks in his
classroom, and until he began getting called out on it, he made all
sorts of disparaging remarks about the Latinos living down the street
from him.

To me people are people. I don't classify them by their skin color and
it has been proved that blood is blood regardless of the skin color of
the body the blood came from.

I wasn't being accusatory. I was just stating, historically, if you had
one drop of black blood, you were considered black. The remnants of Jim
Crow is still alive and well in this country.

With advances in DNA testing, a lot of people are getting a big
surprise. An awful lot of white people whose families have been in the
US for many generations are finding out they have blood relatives who
are decidedly not caucasian.

No, you are Native American. Remember we must be politically correct.
