whose ancestry couldn't be farther from the problems of US history.

Oh well.   But your point is well taken, that the US tradition (and law) was that any drop of blood made a man black.  Latin countries, OTOH, calculated percentages, more or less.

Then we elect a fellow who asks the Brazilian president, "do you have blacks too?"

Jesus!  

Its common knowledge Obama has a white mother and a black father, and yet he is referred to as black by most people.. If the white supremists truly believe they are supreme, then Obama's  mothers white genes, will overpower his fathers black genes, and therefore Obama is actually white.

black.
Look at Tiger Woods, another case in point. Although he is half Asian, he is never referred to as Asian American.
As far as the statement about the genes, where do you come up with this stupid shit?

If you always think inside the box you will often bang your head in the corners..
  I was talking about WHITE SUPREMISTS who are by definition dumb asses..Think about it from another  direction ..If a small amount of Black{one black father} makes a  completely white recorded ancestry mothers baby Black, then the white supremists realize they are a inferior gene pool if they don't call that baby white.

That's an Anglo viewpoint.  Latins deal with it differently.

yes, if Obama was the child of 2 African-American parents, they're no telling where he could go, without being held back by those inferior white genes.

well, at least I could have used him  as an extra in my flick.
