if we were to talk genetics, obama is a white. His mother was white his grandparent were white. And even though 23 of 46 chromosome are shared by the father, whatever happens to the mother is passed on to the child for 9 months while in her womb. And only culture is passed on by the father that raises the child. So Obama is a white man with a good tan, who was raised by an Hawaiian culture. And to call him black would be racist, by any standards.
