[quote=WillowTheWhisp;409123] I remember thinking the same about Halle Berry when there was all that fuss about her at the Oscars. She's not black. She's a sort of golden colour, quite pale really. Surely there's some kind of racist element to this claim to blackness as if the whiter element is something to be denied?

Lets test it shall we- walk down any main street with 'golden, really quite pale' skin and lets see how many racist ass wipes hurl abuse at you- then try telling me you are not a minority.

I think the race card issue being played in the US elections is actually a real problem as it is being used as a means of dscrediting Obama. If you actually listen to the guy he talks a tremendous amount of sense. As any politically ambitious individual however he would be a fool not to maximise the potential vote win his heritage could lead to. Lets face it- any candidiate who manages to mobilise the minority, youth and female vote in the good old U S of A is destined for the White House. As Michael Moore suggested the two sure things should they ever choose to run for office in the states are Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks.
You also know full well that if Arnold Shwarzenegger (spelling?) could run for the presidency then he would and again would probably walk it. Fascistic heritage I'm sure would not create the same response.
