Denying the realities a child will face at school, at play, eventually at work, everywhere, is another matter. Serious parents will own up to the reality of this society and prepare their biracial child for American racism. To not prepare a child for abuse one knows is coming is itself a form of abuse.

Raising a biracial child What it is like raising a biracial child in a world that still sees people by race and color, not individuality.

It is true that President Obama is NOT a member of the very specific Ethnic group known as African-American (AA) BUT -- his being Mixed-Race is NOT at all what precludes him from being an AA (as +70% of the people born to two (2) AA parents are also of Mixed-Race lineage -- with +20-30% European and +25% Amerindian bloodlines) What precludes him from being an AA is that the AAs are actually a very specific ETHNIC grouping of people. The term African-American (AA) does NOT even mean 'Black' !!!!- The term African-American (AA) – as it is used in the United States -- simply means "a descendant of the survivors of the chattel-slavery system that took place on the continental United States during the antebellum era!!"

It is true that President Obama is NOT a member of the
very specific Ethnic group known as African-American (AA)

BUT — his being Mixed-Race is NOT at all what precludes
him from being an AA (as +70% of the people born to two
(2) AA parents are also of Mixed-Race lineage — with
+20-30% European and +25% Amerindian bloodlines)

What precludes him from being an AA is that the AAs
are actually a very specific ETHNIC grouping of people.

The term African-American (AA)
does NOT even mean ‘Black’ !!!!-

The term African-American (AA) – as it is
used in the United States — simply means

“a descendant of the survivors of the
chattel-slavery system that took place
on the continental United States
during the antebellum era!!”
