shouldn’t he be called a multi racial candidate or simply an illinois candidate.
if he is forced labeled as the black candidate, aren’t we forcing him to shed his white heritage?

Great question. His white side of the family are as white as you can get from the midwest. Is he ashamed of his white lineage? Why would you be proudest of your muslim Kenyan father who abandoned your family?

In America we are all a melting pot of backgrounds and ethnicity’s…..Obviously he thinks of himself as Black so why push the issue?

Does it really matter? As long as he is comfortable with his heritage then it’s okay…if he had a problem with the label he would have spoken up about it.

He is called that because the democrats have to group people. black/white, rich/poor…It is called divide and conquer. The republicans on the other hand judge people on their values and not the color of their skin.

You can’t call a man who looks black in every respect,a white man.That wouldn’t go over at all.

If he does well he will be considered Black If he screws up or does not hand over cash to black causes he will be called an Oreo or worse by guys like Sharpton.
