    I just want to clarify something, which may apply to your white friends too. Occasionally I've pointed out in my posts that Obama is half-white, and sometimes I've even called him white, but it was not to reassure myself. I did it to show how ridiculous it was to categorize people as black or Oriental, or whatever if they were partially non-white, as if any other type of blood would contaminate their whiteness. This has bothered me pretty well all my adult life, not just now. I just can't comprehend why skin color should make any difference in anything. It's as irrelevant as the shape of someone's ears.
