We've been told that Barack Obama is the nation's first black President.
He certainly looks black to me... kinda...
Well, apparently he IS black!
The New York Times reports that President Obama, on his census form, checked “Black, African Am., or Negro.”

Apparently he could have checked both the "black" and the "white" boxes (that's permitted now), or myriad other combinations of boxes, but he did not.
He just picked plain ol' black...
How nice...
Can you imagine the uproar--at least in the Black Community--if President Obama had NOT checked the "Black" box on the census?
Can't you imagine the headlines???:
America's First Black President Denies That He's Black!
Wow!
Wouldn't THAT have been special???
I'm glad that our first black President has, in fact, acknowledged and declared that he's black.
We can all sleep easy!
If ONLY we could get him to do something for the Black Community....!!!
Now, THAT would be SPECIAL!!!
Gee, I sure hope he's not NEGRO...!
