Barack Obama is biracial/mixed/mulatto. Raised by white folks. Dated white women until he decided to marry and use an unambiguous black woman to further his own career and end her career. Many of us black nationalists do not claim Obama as black. Fuck that one-drop rule bullshit. We also don't claim Kamala Harris.

USA lives in a state of racial war. It's just ridicolous

Biracial people aren't black. It's like saying bisexual people are gay. Stop calling them black.

Then what are they, because most white people would consider them black.

They're biracial. White people don't tell us who is black anymore. Biracial is a category of its own with variations of course, like Kamala is African/Asian.

And majority of people don't operate like that. They see full or mixed black as still black. Biracial (Afro) are still mixed with black, therefore they'll be called black by most people (even black people themselves), esp if they're black passing. It's justified too in some cases.
