Again, on the census you can check however many boxes you want. You can also write in whatever race you want.

Since Obama is half white, I guess he half believes in the one drop rule.

I honestly don't care, I just know it would be fucked if it was the opposite.

like i said i couldnt give a shit less. I was simply going to take a cheap shot at some of his previous ''racist'' statements. Personally, i dont believe we should have a racial identity here, everyone should call themselves american and leave it be. Then again, my family has been here since before the revolt so i have no idea what its like to be 1st or second gen

A hundred years ago, you would not be accepted among whites unless you were 90-100% white. 50-75% wouldn't cut it. You'd still be labeled black or "colored". So, the one-drop rule was created by whites. Can't blame blacks for continuing to roll with it.
