What I learned on talk radio today: Obama is white...

[TZ]

Because his mother was white and apparantly "hospitals" determine race by what the mother is. Uh okay...:wtf:
So is being an idiot a requirement to call into a radio show?:dunce:

1. That's the new right-wing meme

I've heard it a few times too. I love watching those people squirm..lol

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. if that delusion makes them accept our

President, so be it

[aquart]

3. No, that's how you determine who's Jewish. Maternal descent.

Which is culturally bizarre because DNA shows only the male lineage is from the MidEast.

[Critters2]

7. This was common in many cultures. The mother was the only parent you could be certain of,

before blood and DNA tests existed. The mother was obvious--she's the one who gave birth. The father, not so much.

9. And helpful after an invading army has swept thru.

[Critters2]

11. Yep. Daddy could be anyone. Mommy was the one whose womb you came from. nt

[amdezurik]

14. well, the one you were TOLD you came from

lots of cases where kids grow-up then find out their sister was really their mother...

[Critters2]

16. Yeah, but someone knew the truth definitely. Not so where paternity was concerned. nt

[Critters2]

4. I don't get it. Why were they discussing this?

I mean, his mother was white. But why were they talking about it? I guess I need some context, please.

[aquart]

8. It's dibs.

I guess they figure we got him, and he's looking really competent, so they're claiming him.

[Critters2]

10. Oh. Comprendo.

So they're not afraid of the scary black man anymore--because he isn't black? :eyes:

[TZ]

13. They were just discussing the election and its historical significance

(and btw this is normally a comedy/entertainment show, not political) and this jackass caller volunteered this "interesting information". The DJ made this guy look like an idiot while not appearing to be mean..The guy kinda did not know what to say at the end....

[droidamus2]

Don't think so

Though being all pasty white I can't really say but I would think if a person is of mixed race the race their identified by is the one they choose. I mean on most forms you fill out that ask for race it doesn't ask what race your mother was it just asks what race do you consider yourself to be. That is such a weak as argument so I guess it's "he isn't really the first black president because.. because.. because.. I say he isn't that's why!!!!!"

5. "So is being an idiot a requirement to call into a radio show?"

Only if the mother is also an idiot.

Didn't you read your own OP?

[TZ]

15. *snort*

:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

17. ...

:P

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. If he's white...

Then I am, as Billy Connally would say, pale blue.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

12. So we have an INTERRACIAL couple in the White House??

Does that really help 'that kind' of thinkers?

Scarey...............
