"Black?"


Mr. & Mrs. Obama

Almost without exception, all reporters and pundits keep referring to Barak Obama as being "Black," and plaintively ask if America is ready to elect a "Black" for President. WTF? Obama is mulato. That's a perfectly good word. At least they could say "mixed race."

It matters because I think that's a really important part of his identity, his growing up, perhaps his own view of race.

Just a thought.
