Obama casts light on mixed race

BBC News report. Barack Obama's inauguration as US president means the world's most prominent office is occupied by someone of mixed race. Leon Mann - himself the son of a white father and a black mother - looks at his own background and asks whether Obama's success will lead to fresh debate about the issue.

@topbluffa1 And Reggae and Hip Hop is music made by people who descended from Africans who did nothing (keep believing that without bothering to fact check, doing so will provide YouTubers with great entertainment) so stop listening to it.

@topbluffa1 And this makes you great how?

Oh lighten up Mr. Commentator. We get to joke about our ancestry if we want. Many people off-handedly call themselves mutts. I've heard people who are part-Irish and part Italian refer to themselves as "mutts". It's just not any big thing.

"the darker the skin the deeper the roots" rofl.

you do know we ALL come from africa right? some of our ancestors just had more ambition and drive than others.

im white because my ancestors (black) moved to a area different to Africa and we have evolved to suit the climate.

your ancestors STAYED in africa so your the decedents of Africans who stayed and did nothing.

and most science says people only made civilizations once they began to farm crops which happend in middle east

of mutation from Blacks like i said before which can be VERIFIED by Genealogists that "you" and your kind come "FROM" US and it's truth that my ancestors probably were raped by your kind and your point is? stop tryin' to give yourself FALSE titles if you descend from kings show me PROOF

[RottenPeachState706]

@topbluffa1 "civilization started when people left Africa and settled by rivers" nominee for the top-10 stupidest comments on youtube da fuck you think there weren't rivers in AFRICA?? the worlds LONGEST river as well? as well as documentation from Anthropologists to PROVE that? ummm ok

and as far as the "mutt" thang goes, you ever heard the term The Darker The Skin The Deeper The Roots peep it i dont have light-skin or brown skin i am DARK-SKIN. you on ther other hand are PROOF

[topbluffa1]

sorry did i call you black? that is wrong your a Mutt.

i highly doubt your weak ancestors survived this long without being raped.

your lucky tho really they never would of survived the journeys like my ancestors did traveling the hard way.

i descend from kings.... you descend from slaves....

So keep calling me white boy

[topbluffa1]

" CANT get black from white BUT you CAN get white from BLACK" dosnt make sense.

and civilization started when people left Africa and settled by rivers.

and ROFL at the "but the concept of slavery wasnt the same".

sorry Black boy but the chances are more high that you have a slave owner in your family tree than i do.

whether its because he raped your grandma or not i dont really care.

[RottenPeachState706]

@topbluffa1 #1 we speakin' on the "american" dynamic you stay in the damn UK this aint a social ill of yall out there

#2 since civilization BEGAN in Africa i guess you can say Africans had slaves before ANYBODY BUT the concept of "slavery" wasnt the same "concept" of the white europeans was NOT the same if you TRULY know your history white boy

#3 you come from US i dont have to complain about shit without BLACKS you WOULDNT be here you CANT get black from white BUT you CAN get white from BLACK

[topbluffa1]

shut up you stupid racist.

and i laugh at how you try to use white boy as a insult........ sorry im not black im not insulted by the color of my own skin.

secondly Africans have been slave owners and so have Arabs far longer than white people have................

and im Irish ( the English's original slaves)

your really pathetic and know nothing about facts and just cry and blame "white ppl".

are you a cannibal? do you make your house out of Cow shit?

or would that be wrong to judge u like that
