Tell me, what makes you think people have "fallen under the magic spell"?

Can you also tell me what led you tp say:

What exactly is the experience with skin color that a full African American would have? What is a "full" African American?

OK Well I'm glad you want to take everything good about Barak back.

And hey what do I know about being an African-American, but I bet Tupac and Tiger Woods experienced different things because of their skin color.

BTW, you didn't answer my question about the "magic spell".

I bet Tupac and Tiger experienced different things because of their family of origin's lifestyle and socioeconomic background. I bet they experienced a lot of the same things because of their skin color and gender. Matter of fact, based on published reports, I know they did.

Now back to Barack

Well Barak is half white and lived abroad. I guess you can't say much about Barak if you're not white (I guess I'm white, I don't know sometimes I'm racially confused)....and did you live abroad?

I didn't say everyone has fallen under a magic spell and since you've already told everyone to take back all those good things they've said about him, I'm sure no "magic spell" would work, were one to exist.

And hey did Barak's being half white, his birth and upbringing in Hawaii and Indonesia, his socioeconomic status somehow help him understand what the majority of African-Americans (one community, say it with me now) feel?

That reminds me- my father regularly pulls a stat out of his ass that African-Americans are only about 80% black and 20% white/misc. I should really see if I can find something to back that up sometime.

As for Obama- does anyone know if Nancy Skinner is working on his campaign? I donated towards her during the Primaries.

Well there was a lot of miscegnation during slavery. I'm pretty sure most if not all African Americans have some European ancestry. Heck I have a Scottish last name.

Did the white parents stay in their lives?

It was more of a "you're my property and I'll have my way with you" thing many times. Not all were as nice as Thomas Jefferson, or Strom Thurmond and his multi-racial daughter.

I guess it depends. Some of the white parents sold their children.
