Obama is not racist, but it is racist to say that he is "black". He was born of a "white" woman, raised by a "white" woman and went to "white" elite schools. So, his skin is darker, because his father, with whom he hardly ever had anything to do, was "black". And his wife is "black", so we call him black: now that is racist. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
