i think almost every black person in america has some white in them, just like you as a white male probably have some black in you down the line somewhere.

black isnt just broken down to skin color, but experiences. obama has talked about himself being profiled and followed in the past by white males, which is a common experience amongst black males in this country.

Well President Obama Is Bi-Racial which is half Caucasian & half Negroid as far as race is concerned. He is a nice looking "mocha" man! Now we have to figure out what race Boehner belongs too with his "spray tan orange face!
Are the 'Oompa Loompas" a "race?

I'm fairly certain that when he walked down the street, people looked at him and identified him as a black man, not a half black man. His experience living in America has been that of a black man.

So what's your point?

The conventional wisdom among anthropologists is that race is largely a fiction. There is as much variation within a 'race' as there is between one 'race' and another, hence the concept of race falls apart. Skin color is no more a fundamental divide than hair color or eye color.
