I don't think anyone ever claimed he was half black or white? I only ever heard him called black. Kind of a sensitive subject in America.
I didn't know this but Mariah Carey is called a black woman in america because one of her parents is black or mixed. If she's black does that mean Obama is white? -

Yeah Obama is technically mixed race, but in America they tend not to call black people that, even if they really do look mixed. I find it strange.
Mariah looks more white than black, so people call her white or mixed.
I think black Americans claim she is black. That's what I read about. I was perplexed, I always thought she was white. That's why I find it funny. Because by their own definition that would make Obama white.
Another one was Wentworth Miller and even Johnny Depp (who apparently has a black ancestor). I saw millions of people on twitter calling them black. I was like wtf? -

She really does look like an Indian woman, though, not really an afro american.
I had a conversation with some Americans who were trying to tell me that Emilio Estevez was latino/hispanic and thus a POC. I tried to tell them his grandfather was from Spain in Europe and that he's European, but they didn't understand. I find it funny how obsessed with race Americans are, mainly the minorities seemingly. It's like they can't think straight. -

As someone who is one half Lakota, I'm a little disturbed that no indigenous people have been president yet. I'd think we would deserve a shot if anyone does. Although I've heard Obama had a smidge of Aniyunwiya in him but that's not good enough.

We Did!
His Name was "Barack Obama" and I actually think that he did a Pretty Darn Good Job as President and I have got 3 reasons why I think that.- He was the First African-American President of The United States.
- He gave Affordable Healthcare to millions of people in this country who didn't have it before.
- He is 1 of the 2 main reasons (the other being "Seal Team 6" and God Bless Those Guys!) why Osama Bin Laden (the person responsible for "September 11th, 2001") is now dead.

He did get affordable healthcare to millions but at the expense of millions of others like myself.
It's not like he made healthcare better for others and those who had decent plans already were able to keep theirs.
I haven't had decent healthcare in ten years now. Because of Obama.
