I've watched in the news about how Morgan Freeman says that President Obama isn't the first black American president...and he's actually the first mixed-race president. Even though Obama is mixed-race since he is half-white, he identifies with being black...so shouldn't he be called black? And are only pure non-mixed race Africans be called black?
