The funny thing is, Obama isn't even really black. Technically, from his dad's lineage, he is 87% Arab and only 13% Black African. Add that to the 100% white from his mother and his genetic makeup is 50% white, 43.5% Arab, and only 6.5% Black African. Nobody talks about where he really came from, not that it really matters to me. I just think that if people are going to make his race an issue, they ought to get his race right.
It's actually a hair worse than that. We get a larger percentage of our DNA from our mothers due to the impact of mitochondrial DNA. IIRC, it's somewhere south of 3%, but just saying...
