Okay so draxx is your saying that if your half white and half black your all black. Okay so we have a black president. I guess you could say that the "MAN" is not longer white but black.

You are one ignorant ass nigger(as apposed to being a normal black person). So 1st your argue that the President is not half white half black but full black. Then you argue that their is some higher power then the President.

There is no such thing as HALF WHITE! President Obama is Black! If you look at the way Black people were mixed during slavery, we clearly have white blood but we are Black!
