because tiger "looks" more black than Asian, but i refer to him as 'half black' (like the aflak commercials). and Obama looks more black. Thats why.

If you have white milk and add a little food color until it turns a shade of brown, is it still white milk?
Woods and Obama were never raised as "black" kids. They were unique being raised in a military family and by white grandparents in Hawaii. No chocolate here, just food color.
What I don't understand is why everyone needs to belong to some group to be accepted. This applies more to Obama than Woods. Tiger is his own man and Obama needs a role to play.

I believe Tiger referred to himself as a "caublanasian" once. Obama defended his being black enough in the last youtube debate.

Because Tiger Woods doesn't LOOK Asian..and Obama doesn't LOOK white, that's why they are called black..it is the color of their skin, people aren't calling them Africans, that's nationality. Black is a color...not a nationality.

Hey try crossing the border into the US..anyone with a serious tan is not white and suffers the wrath of the US gronks...seriously, white Americans need something to overcome their racism and by supporting almost blacks they can say "I AM NOT RACIST"...keep in mind that if Americans spent more time out of their borders they would travel to Spain and see them as "black".

They both 'favor' the African heritage more so than the Asian or White. That is obvious. It is also obvious that we all know they are not full blooded African Americans. But honestly, does it really matter?

Yeah early on the libs were wondering aloud whether Obama was black enough. Whether he was down for the struggle.

Obama isn't going to be called white cause they are using his color as a political statement hoping to attract the black people's vote. Obama grew up in a muslim home and they don't call him that either.

I'm mullato. I don't like called black because I think it is disrespectful to my mother, afterall, I'm half of her too. It's funny because I think it is RACIST to call someone who is mullator or mixed, black. I thought the media was all about being "correct:?
also, sounds like the one drop rule.
