Barack Obama is the first black president in US history!
Lewis Hamilton is the first black to win the F1 championship!
Tiger Woods is the first black to win a major championship!
These are wonderful firsts, aren't they? As we get close to Obama occupying the White House, one thought suddenly struck me like lightning. Obama's mother was white, while his father was black - so why is Obama black? He should be grey! Hamilton should be grey as well, while Woods should be a dark shade of yellow.
A person with some black lineage automatically gets classified as black. It is almost as if white is pure, and any black contamination automatically disqualifies a person from being called white. It doesn't work the other way though - inspite of having a white mother, Obama is not called white. How disgusting and utterly prejudicial!
We should all stop using these ridiculous white/black/yellow labels.
