No, he is only half black, maybe gray. Did you compare his skin color with the skin of his father? There is a big difference. Though it does not matter at all.

Whatever. I just read it like this. For examples: 55% of White Americans classify Obma as biracial when they are told that he has a white mother, while 66% of African Americans consider him black.("Williams/Zogby Poll: Americans' Attitudes Changing Towards Multiracial Candidates", BBSNews.com (2006-12-22). Retrieved on 2007-09-23.) Obama describes himself as "black" or "African American", using both terms interchangeably ("Transcript excerpt: Senator Barack Obama on Sixty Minutes", CBS News (2007=02-11). Retrieved on 2008-01-29.)

And if he has one arm, one leg, is green with pink dots, i would still vote for him.

it doesnt matter if he is black or white, even it doesnt matter if he is muslim or christian, as Colin Powell said. The matter is he is now the new president.

Technically we could call him a biracial crossbreed. But if he wants to be called black then we can do so. Maybe the society around him forced him to be black instead of white or multi-cultural.
But now we will watch and see if he keeps his promises.

Um.. What I meant with "Black president" was that the guy isn't completely white and completely American. It's great that the country was able to let the "nigga" (as stated in an other forum post) get to as high as presidential position.
I didn't expect that there would be another argue whether he is or isn't black. What does it matter in the end. It matters in one way though. He's the first non-white president. It's huge step for USA.
Now. I wish him good presidential career, may he keep the promises he intended to keep.
