The phrase "white-black" went right over your head. Funny and somewhat ironic.

Heard Hannity and his panel refer to Obama as that several times the other night in complete seriousness.

I don't have cable and even if I did I wouldn't watch cable news. Talk about brain rot.

I used the term "white-black" because the media in this country keeps labeling Zimmerman as a "white-Hispanic" instead of multiracial or Hispanic. See what they do? They make words and labels up if it makes their stories more polarizing.

What Hispanic man killing a black man? That's not a news headline!

Were you of age to fill out the 2010 census? Remember when they ask for your race, and one of the options is, "White, non-Hispanic?"

It's an identity. The media didn't concoct this idea to annoy patriotic Americans such as yourself.

From the wiki page about "White Hispanics:"

"White Americans are therefore divided between "White Hispanic" and "Non Hispanic White," the former consisting of White Americans who report Hispanophone ancestry (Spain and Hispanic Latin America), and the latter consisting of White Americans who do not report Hispanophone ancestry."

Zimmerman identifies as a white hispanic. "White-Black" is not even a thing.

Everything this president has done is outrageous. From selling our children's futures to his bankster owners, drone bombing third world children, eviscerating the bill of rights; and now comparing himself to some common street thug that was righteously gunned down in self defense by a true blooded American hero.

you both have points about obama ..

on the one hand, he does experience racism based on his skin color.

on the other hand, he was brought up in a very privileged manner, and doesn't have "american black" roots (the europeans-owned-african-slave-trade kind). he is "african american" in a different sense than the people who are here now because of slavery, and closer to an american culture now than to an african one.

Obama is related to the first slave in the United States.

From his mother's side.
