Half caucasians don't celebrate Martin Luther King? What does black mean to you? Black isn't a race, it's a people. African is a race. Caucasian is a race. Black is a people of a shared experience. Obama calls himself black. What's the problem with wanting to be black. Not a single black (note the lower case b) person is of pure blood, so then no one is black or it is silly to identify themselves as black?
I thought the black leaders said of BHO he "wasn't black enuf" early in his run. Didn't have the "slave" background in his anchestry so was somehow not qualified with the "blacks" who had.
Like it or not, he's going to be your President. These sort of statements make you appear like someone you aren't.
Let it go and go after him on issues that bother you.
