"He's Arab. ... He's not African-American"

Bigots & Idiots of the World, Unite!
"...Rush Limbaugh baselessly asserted of Sen. Barack Obama: "Do you know he has not one shred of African-American blood?" Limbaugh continued: "He's Arab. You know, he's from Africa. He's from Arab parts of Africa. ... [H]e's not African-American. The last thing that he is is African-American."

For people who don't believe in evolution, its funny that Limbaugh & co. should be so obsessed with (and feign knowledge of) racial origins.

In future should we then qualify the racial origins of all hyphenated Americans? That would probably make you a Babylonian-Phoenician-Mamluk-Arab-American.

Madame would be a Ukrainian-Polish-Dutch-French-Alsatian-German-American, which sounds like a culinary nightmare.

Absolutley true!!!!!!

His father was NOT an African-American. He was an African. He has African Blood.

But on the other hand if you want to take the view that his father was Somali-Kenyan and hence Arab. Then the Obama baby would be an Arab-American.
