How is the one drop rule from centuries ago relevant to this discussion?
Most religions, census samples etc. assign mixed race folks the race of their biological mother. You are only born a Jew if your mom is a Jew. Societies know that papa's are rolling stones.
In Obama's case-a black dad who abandoned him early, raised in a white household-only in affirmative admissions world and white guilt world is Obama "black."
Compare Obama's political/academic exploitation of his black half to that of Tiger Woods who issued this statement in 1996.
"The purpose of this statement is to explain my heritage for the benefit of members of the media who may be seeing me play for the first time. It is the final and only comment I will make regarding the issue.
My parents have taught me to always be proud of my ethnic background. Please rest assured that is, and always will be, the case - past, present, and future.
The media has portrayed me as African-America; sometimes, Asian. In fact, I am both.
Yes, I am the product of two great cultures, one African-American and the other Asian.
On my father's side, I am African-American. On my mother's side, I am Thai. Truthfully, I feel very fortunate, and EQUALLY PROUD, to be both African-American and Asian!
The critical and fundamental point is that ethnic background and/or composition should NOT make a difference. It does NOT make a difference to me. The bottom line is that I am an American...and proud of it!
That is who I am and what I am. Now, with your cooperation, I hope I can just be a golfer and a human being."

Quote from ARealGannTrader:
I agree, he will die that way most likely.
It is unfortunate. I know some people who define their very existence in colors.
Blacks live there.
Asians own that.
Arabs live over there.
However, as i stated in detail b4 about Obama, he is very good for black America. And for white racist America as well, because they will find it more and more difficult to hide behind the internet and b PC because of the stress of seeing a black man as the leader of the free world. They will slip and b deservedly ostracized.
Pabst also failed to address the one drop rule of the United States,and has posted since.
As a culture, the West is responsible for more death thru war than any other, so all the killin Pabst b talkin bout was learned from the only culture that literally turned it into a science.
