@aferg76 Some white people go darker than obama when in hot sunny countries. His skin is that of a white-tanned man. So in reality he actually looks more white than black.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@aferg76 Well in Zambia and Zimbabwe you,re white because coloureds and whites are considerd as the same in most african countries. You,re white in africa. And white is your most dominant gene.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@aferg76 I look more White so I dentify with the white side more . But the genetic fact is what it is you,re half-caste and will never be accepted as black in africa bieng an out-cast from a tribe.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@aferg76 I define myself as White . So some half-caste people consider themselfs white like and some consider themselfs black like you. But the end result is always niether because we are not black or white and never will be.

[aferg76]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste i dont think most africans know he is biracial. People look at the color of his skin and they see a black person, thats just they way it is. This issue is not the end of the world, calm down. Besides I have seen a lot of black Americans that can be considered biracial but are not. So arent a lot of black Americans mixed?

[aferg76]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste you must be an american right? if you didnt know the only place in africa where ppl are labeled colored is south africa. That may be what you are talking about. idk. However, coloreds are still seen as inferior to whites. Africa has over 45 different countries, south africa only being 1. A light or dark black is seen the same no matter where you go. In Egypt where I live they call me a monkey and I am light compared to the other Africans. Once again, I can identify myself.

[aferg76]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste unfortunately we live in a society that loves to identify us, i can identify myself and obama can do the same we dont need your assistance in doing so. You said " the white man's biracials".... I thought you said that biracials are 2 races now we belong to the white man. I think I see what your problem is. Are you a biracial that feels better about the white side than the black side? everyone has issues and insecurities dont deny yours.

[aferg76]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste i am also biracial but i like i once said i am dark so a consider myself black. maybe the blackman is not the one obsessed maybe you are they obsessed fool. if you want to be biracial be biracial. for us biracials who want to be considered black we will be black. who are you to define us and who are we to define you. you have defined yourself and i think obama has also defined himself.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@aferg76 Well then why are coloured people called MUZUNGU. Obama is not nigger he is half-white not just negroe you blacks depend on my biracial people to much. Im half-caste myself and im not a black mwafrika man who blacks are obsessed with claiming my mixed-race people as black you depend on the white mans biracial children to.much.
