In your article, you cite "ethnic purity has reached them." It is not ethnic purity in as much as it is shared experiences & adversity. A majority of African-Americans, 80%+, support Obama. And many of us have roots in slavery and have long since dealt with the possibility or fact or mixed ethnicity. So I don't think we're behind the 8-ball. I'd like to believe we've dealt with and overcame this as a people thus 1964 - Civil Rights. Malcom X was of mixed heritage. <BR/><BR/>My family (grandparents) are of mixed heritage. In fact, my grandmother had 11 children. I would joke that our family was Africa - different shapes, sizes, and colors with ALL the same infighting.Leonhttp://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/leonspencernoreply@blogger.com
