The absurdity that any black ancestor makes one "black" is a residue of the American Civil war where any descendents of white slaveholders and black slaves would continue to be defined as "black" and segregated. To any but the most prejudiced eye Obama can be equally regarded as "white". My own bloodlines are all Irish, descended from an indentured servant who arrived before the 1776 revolution.

No birth certificate ever made a man or woman what they are today. It's what they do with their life after they are born that matters. Would birther's be so much in a tizzy if Obama had been white? Would any of these birthers have really cared that much about the status of Obama's birth certificate? Pardon the foul language that is about to come out of my mouth, but I wish birthers would just be honest with themselves and call a spade a spade. It is draining to incessantly have to listen to individuals who call themselves god fearing Americans who don't even know they are still in the closet on this matter. The history book will have a lot to say about this unfortunate incident, and it will not be good: A group of so-called god-fearing Americans hid their bigotry behind a constitutional premise that Obama's birth certificate was faked. On the same vein, I think individuals like Arnold Schwarzenegger ought to have the constitutional right to run for president. For better or worse, he had been elected to run the most powerful state in the United States. Many think he didn't to a half-assed job of it. Granted, if given the chance many would probably not vote for Arnold, but I suspect many would. I think he ought to have the chance. At least he isn't black.
