Barack Obama is the "first black President" period as long as he is in this country. NOT everyone wants to discard the one drop rule. It has defined black people in this country for years. What alot of white people don't realize is that Barack Obama might be 50% White and 50% Black if he took a DNA test (hypothetically). HOWEVER, I know several people that have taken DNA genetic tests who have TWO black parents who are light-skinned and came back with 62% White blood in them. They identify as black as well as their parents. When you have people who look like Lena Horne who have two Negro parents it is hard to tell a bi-racial person who is much darker and obviously black that they are NOT black but Lena Horne is black. There are alot of very fair-skinned blacks who have more white blood than current immediately mixed kids. They are all BLACK in America. It started too long ago, there's nothing "wrong" with it and you can't re-write history.
