I used to think the way do but when you go to America and live here for a month,no one who tell you to call urself black even if you are mixed with White and Black parents.Obama didn't chose to call himself black, I can say this as a biracial or mixed child.The system called him BLACK. Like most of us who are mixed, we are more accepted by Blacks than whites and we feel more comfortable around black people. And for your information.He, Obama, called himself Black on an interview. Whats ur point?
