Black enough? Why do they question whether Presidential Candidate Obama is black enough? He looks black to me. How do blacks measure blackness levels?

I'm sorry for some of your responses. Those who answered your question act like this doesn't happen-it does. Maybe you should speak EBONICs to be black enough to represent some of the low-lifes. Those are the only ones I know of that judge how "black" a person is. The educated, well spoken black people are "Uncle Toms" to the low lifes. A black person can't take advantage of the education system and make something of themselves without backlash from the blacks that want to continue to live off of the gov't. This "achiever" proves you can do what ever you want with your life, even if your black, which disproves the idea of the "white man" holding someone down. I believe the low lifes want someone who will cry mistreatment and racism all the time so they can continue to get things for "free".

I have a question for you. Why are you so concerned with Black people? Your questions are always based on what black people do, eat, wear, smell like, act, live, say, don't say. Why does this concern you so much? Are you part black, and just want to understand a few things, or are you just trying to always stir up some kind of trouble? I think you should seek professional help about your obsession with the black race. Get help now you need it.

First, their isn't a measure of blackness, whiteness, brownness,etc. You are who you are as a person. Race is only one factor of who you are as a person. You can't measure a person by their race. Their are people in every race who says to some they "they don't act" whatever enough.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BLACK ENOUGH
You are either black or your not..Obama is black. I have never met a black person who didnt say he was black now turn off the demon box..They clearly have some silly agenda.

Anyone who measures a persons blackness by the way they act are just as ignorant as the people that call us ni99ers.

Now, I am not Black and am just going by what I have heard from black friends. I think that they think that the blacker you are you are lower than the light skinned blacks.All the black women who I have heard talking always say they like the light skinned black men.Now like I said before this is all hearsay. I could and am probably wrong.

You really need to ask yourself if you think that you can lump all black people into a group. You just can't do that

I guess it's just how a person was raised. How is one person "white" enough to be white? Do you have to listen to country music and have southen accent? How about if you were asian? Do you have to be good at math?
