Personally, I thought it was funny.What does possibly mean to you?
Who are "they"?
We aren't sure what the OP is asking.Can someone remind me what the point is of nitpicking Obama's exact percentage of African lineage?
They are related to them. "Them" were cursed throughout history just as they was also cursed.
No, the President self-identifies as "black," but his mother was Caucasian, and he is of mixed race.

People have been killing each other in droves since the dawn of civilization.
Greetings, Cardinal. :2wave:
After watching the video you posted, I have to admit that I was wrong about thinking only "tribes" vied for supremacy! We have had a long history of warlike behavior, haven't we, for whatever justification was given at the time. Seeing the civilizations fall, that were once great, you'd think we were slow learners if you were an alien race watching us from elsewhere in the galaxy! Sadly, they'd be correct in their evaluation of us! :shock: Thanks for a great post! *hug*

...which makes him black; legally and practically.
And that video was just concentrated on a specific part of the Middle East. Now just imagine if it had encapsulated every region on earth over the past six thousand years.
Possibly.
Is the point that unless you have completely undiluted Sub-Saharan African ancestry, you're not really black? Nobody's exactly rushing in to clear this up for me.
Course many who self identify as white claim a single drop of negra blood means you is a negra... :roll:
The laws in the Dirty South said so, many folks still firmly believe it- so much for trying to make a black guy another race when it suits the whine.eace

I'm curious, Kobie, what you think the President should do.
Barack Obama is black, the end.
Depends on the situation.
Regarding Yemen, I'm perfectly fine with the Saudis taking the steps to clean up their own back yard. They've been neck deep in all this garbage for a while, and it's about damn time they took care of the mess.
Regarding Boko Haram, that's a situation I think a small boots-on-the-ground presence could do wonders. These guys appear to be pretty bush league, and they could be disposed of without inciting a sectarian free-for-all.
Regarding ISIS in Syria and Iraq, that's something that we'll need a multinational coalition to deal with, including airstrikes, specops maneuvers and cooperation with "friendly" groups like the Kurds. However, the problem there is that once ISIS is gone, the next group of nutters is just going to take their place. That area is so rife with sectarian divides and religious fanaticism that I'm at a loss regarding how to pacify it. And regardless of Obama's proclamation that Iraq was "stable" or some of our conservative brethren's insistence that everything would be just fine and dandy if we still had 50,000 American troops standing atop that ****pile, that place was never stable and won't be for quite some time, American boots on the ground or no.
That said, I don't think the responsibility for all of this stuff falls on Obama alone. The guy is the President of the United States, not the chief of the World Police.
Greetings, Kobie. :2wave:
Not like we're seeing today, Kobie.
I'm gonna stop you right there. To this day, this has been the most peaceful time in recorded human history.
