How long until Obama is "not black"?
- Thread starter caff
- Start date
I saw a white couple on TV once that had a black child. They did a test and everything, and the kid belonged to both of them. It has nothing to do with "race" in some cases, just pigmentation. Some people have more vitamin D than others.
If you go to sub-saharan Africa, I'm sure the instance of people having light kids is slim to none. It happens more here because of interracial relations...a lot of which happened back during slave times when slave masters became rapists. A lot of African American families have white in them because of that shit.

People with darker skin have more Vitamin D naturally. Vitamin D is transferred from the sun, which might explain why people in generally gloomy regions are a lot lighter than the rest of us. I.E. Ireland, England, Norway, Russia, etc. etc.
And for arguments sake, an experiment was done where a man took some supplement that darkened his skin. It wasn't safe, and doctors told him he probably shouldn't do it for the health affects it could cause. He went ahead and did it anyway and was successful with his experiment. Kinda like when Tekeste Kahsay took pills for his liver and turned white.

Location: 831/209 Aptos to Modesto
LOL please don't talk about this, what grasp of black history do you have? especially if you're from aptos to modesto. not trying to overgeneralize, but it's obvious. ever hear of w.e.b. dubois? frederick douglass? booker t. washington? if not, then don't speak for obama or black people for that matter. this brings me back to my point a few posts ago, it seems like a lot of you saying obama isn't black don't even have a concept of the meaning of black in america. also, if you live in an area where there's no substantial black population then think, do you really know what you're talking about?

I'm not "downing" anybody. When did I try to take anything away from anybody in this conversation? Not once. It's amazing how different cats are on the net than in real life. I've had conversations like this with open-minded folks of different races, and never has there been any resentment or anger towards one another. It's called having an educated conversation. Just because somebody made a statement, and I presented my own "theories" which are just as scientific as the next, doesn't mean I'm on some bullshit.
Fact of the matter is, you don't have to teach me ANYTHING! I can argue for both sides with the same amount of conviction. I'm not one sided by any means. When it comes down to scientific shit regarding the beginning of human existence, there is no "concrete evidence" of anything...theories are thrown out daily, and new ones come into play. That's just a fact. So because I stated a well known "theory" opposite somebody else's, I'm ignorant? Interesting.
As for Obama. Yes, he is the first black president. That doesn't take away from the fact that he's "mixed" as he calls himself.
