Don't know if this has been mentioned before but...why does everyone talk about Obama being black? His mothers white. It can't be skin colour as we have an albino black guy in big brother and everyone calls him black.![]()

I am not sure....perhaps it's easier than saying he's mixed race or whatever the term would be
In that case I've got an equal case for calling him white![]()
It is a government standard. We call him black because he is at least 1/16 black. It's not being politically correct or anything like that. That's simply how it is in this country. Any person who is half white, three-quarters white, 7/8ths or 15/16ths is considered black. So technically, you don't have an equal case to call him white. Look up the one-drop rule.
