Let's have fun with this thread :

They say this because he accept, Obama, that they said this !
AND because he consider himself, mainly, as a black !

(mixed people growing in white country are seen as ==> black people)

check at 2.00 minute ... ... ... BIG RACIST comment ?

THEY (everybody ?) are all a bunch of racist ...

I don't have sound at the moment, but it is pretty stupid of Obama to call himself black (if he did indeed say that).

The "mixed people growing in white country are seen as ==> black people" is totally fake, and seems only true for USA. In Europe, a mixed guy is a mixed guy, not black nor white.

- quick report : "do you think Clinton was the first black president ?"

"bla bla bla" and at the end, final joke, "I have yet to see him dance so I dont know if he is a true brother"

It is a joke, but a racist one.

- sorry to burst your bubble : most of the mixed people will be seen as black people, or will be attached to the black people group in europe TOO.

the main difference between NA and Europe is that you have a lot less HATE between the group in Europe compared to NA.
This is du to the historical difference between Na and Europe :

NA : white and black living together in 1 territory : racisme +  segregation + slavery : big hate/injury/violence

Europe : mostly white people, very few black people, black community is more recent
(historically black are in the colonnial empire and they only recently come to Europe territory) 
: racisme but no segregation and no actual slavery in Europe territory : less hate

In Europe, black people are seen as the latino in America : a relatively new population in the territory
