How has Barack Obama become black? He is what the census bureau would define as someone reporting two or more races as his father was an African immagrant and his mom was a white lady from Kansas. After his parents divorced he moved to Indonesia then Hawii where he graduated high school. The hardly compares with many if any of the 50 million blacks in the US even his father who was black had a complety diffrent experince seeing as he was well educated and coming from another country. Hawii Indonesia and Occedential all have low figures for African Americans Indonesia having nearly none. Hawii floating around the 2-3% range and Occidential having a nearly 80% cuacasion rate when Obama went there with many of the minorty spots being filled by Asians. So by the time he graduated college Obamas life experince was nothing like that of the poor rual Alabama farmer or the steel worker from Indiana. He was raised by his white mother and his white grandparents and people called him Barry. So why does black America see him as one of them when he really isnt. I dont know wether its a damn good pr job by his people or what but he sure has duped allot of people balck and white alike.
