Morning Rant - In The Political Sense!

Good morning America! I recently viewed Fareed Zakaria's CNN presentation: The Barack Obama Legacy. I found it to be fair minded and thought provoking. However, I had a difficult time absorbing the opening comments... Barack Obama was actually not the first African American President of these United States - as he is actually of mixed race... Wait a minute! What the heck! Are you kidding me? Mr. Obama is of African descent, born in America! That qualifies as African American in my book! The way I see it, if one parent is black, regardless of national origin, and the child is born in America - the child is identified as Jewish American; Irish American; Italian American, so forth and so on! Period. When did we start documenting people as "mixed race?" If every American did a DNA swab, how many races would be found? I'd bet we'd all be designated MUTTS! My DNA says I'm 23% European - strong emphasis on Irish! How the heck did that happen?🤔. Every form I've ever filled out requiring race never provided a box for "mixed!" Unfreaking believable! Peace Out America!🙄
