I fixed it for you.  There is no other word for voting (or hiring or anything else) based on a skin tone or an ethnicity of any kind.  Even if it was just a little bit.  It's like being a little bit pregnant ... it's either all or nothing in that spectrum.

I'm just MAD at EVERYONE who voted for him.  Uninformed voters seem to be the greatest threat to our country, so I only have empathy with those of us who tried to tell them of the impending disaster of an Obama presidency.

Oh Seabelle, how you made me laugh. 

I look at my Hubby who is half Italian and half Irish and notice that he does carry more of his Mothers identity, the Italian side then the Irish fathers side.  Perhaps this is because the Italian side had had a bigger role in his upbringing then his Dads.

This may explain how Obama was raised, well meaning mothers family with no father around, then the step dad, trying to keep a connection between his fathers heritage and not giving him as much connection with his mothers heritage. They may have figured   being raised in a white home, he  would somehow pull all this together by himself.   He really had some problems growing up, raised  and educated for a few years as a Muslim, with a black Kenyon father with 2-3 other wives.

Like all of us Mutts, at some time we have to identify with either the mothers or the fathers heritage.  His choice was easy, he looked black, others identified him as black, his dad was from Africa, so his self identification is and was black.

His genetics and DNA are half white, but the mental  part of him is black.  I can find nothing of the education or upbringing to make me believe he has any respect for his mothers heritage.  I full well remember him calling his fathers 2nd. wife grandmother.  This is tradition he said---  Certainly not any white tradition I have yet to hear of.

Now about his Aunt who lives here in this country,  who the Hell is she really, is she the daughter of his fathers 3rd. wife ??  His so called half brother , could he be the child of his Dads 2nd. wife that existed before his Dad married her.??

On to his wife, we tend to ignore her past, who and where is she from, while we concentrate on Obama we forget that the most important influence in his life is his wife. What are her roots, who influenced her as a young adult.??

Rant over--for now.
