Massive protests over a South Asian Miss America

How about you do some research?

With that information at hand let's look at Obama's situation. Our President-Elect's heritage is much like mine but with two important differences; his paternal great-great-grandmother was a 100% African Black and his paternal great-great-grandfather was 100% Arabic. The children from that union married only other Arabs until Obama's father, who lived in Kenya and was officially referred to in Kenyan public records as an 'Arab African' and was only 1/8 African. He married a 100% American Caucasian and produced a son, Barack who, technically is, 50% White, 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African. Hence, he is more White than he is African-American. He is black, for sure, but only in the pigmentation of his skin. He is just as much white as he is black, but politically speaking it has been more expedient and rewarding for him to claim African-American lineage. It is very possible that there would not have been a Barack Obama in the Presidential election if he had depended on his 'Arab connection' to carry him through.

What a loser.

That guy in the pic, Obama Sr, is black. If he was born in Sweden, you'd be arguing that he is Swedish?
Well that would be correct as long as you acknowledged that he is black.

Dippin' in curry, keepin' it spicy - LOL!

[Caramel]

Facts are facts. Like the fact you are a fat bastard.

Did somebody say Fat Bastard?

Fact - I know this guy is %100 Irish and is definitely not black !

where are the tweets coming from? Lick Yer Chin,West Virginia?Marry Your Sister,Kentucky?on the bright side,they can probably play a mean banjo.

I'm surprised there are still beauty contests happening, I thought by now the fem-Nazis would've shut them down.

I could be wrong but I think we've had minority winners here,like Miss B.C., Miss Vancouver,etc?
don't know for sure but can't recall it being a big deal.

in Van the minority lines are becoming blurred, depending on where you are.

And for those who tweeted those awful things, America is going to shit because a "Muslim" was elected Miss America. How dare they elect someone who isn't white, and worst of all, a "Muslim"???? Isn't it obvious that Miss Kansas is the real beauty here?

never underestimate the power of brainwashing

as a matter of fact, just who were all those tweets from... kids, or people trying to shape kids' attitudes?

trust nothing on the internet

 

[vancity_cowboy]

Ummm..... Actually, I'm the fat bastard around here.
Much like our inbred cousins to the South, just without the inbreeding part.

I'm both surprised and disappointed in you, CptKirk. If there was anybody that I believed would be more enlightened, it would've been you. So, tell me, is Barack Obama black on the right side and white on the left or vice versa. And which one is supposedly inferior again. I can never remember...

 

[grusse]

I was going to post it if no one else did.

I'm with you Ms. Sarah

but let's not discourage him, we need some humour on the board.

 

[normisanas]

He is just as much white as he is black, but politically speaking it has been more expedient and rewarding for him to claim African-American lineage.

Even if he was 50% white and 50% black, you think it was advantageous for him to identify with being black for the purpose of running for president? Being black gives him an advantage in running for the United States? Since when?

The guy looks black. Few would have guessed he had mixed blood. And what do you think would have happened if he said, "I identify as a white man"? How do you think white people, who form the majority in the United States, would have reacted to that?

What he did expediently was identify with what others would mistake him for, because he has common sense, not crazy like what you said.

Those people ranting on twitter (there seriously were a lot of them not just on #missamerica2013 , but on my feed too) just made themselves look ignorant... Outside of all the racist comments.... She's Hindu, not Muslim and she's Indan, not Arab... But even if she was an Arab Muslim so what?? The worst is when they were on the Today show saying "they caled her a lot if derogatory names, like a Muslim" EXCUSE YOU?!? Naming a religion is not derogatory! If you called someone an Episcapalian is that a "derogatory name"?!? The were trying to stand up for her, but they ended up looking racist too!!! Such a touchy subject, even more so in the states than here.... But she's so beautiful and she won. One of the requirements for entering the Miss America pageant is being born on American Soil... Therefore there's no argument anyone can make... None whatsoever ... How dare people try to rain on her parade! They are turning something that should be one of the most proud and exciting times of her life, and shitting all over her... That's gotta be painful... How fukkin dare they........

That is a stupid question, Man Mountain, because the answer is obvious.

Any time you see him on TV he is black. His face is black; his short curly hair has "black roots", and his hands are black. It is soooo obvious.

It is his top half that is black.
