the average American won't make that distinction. his "black" side is from Kenya and his ancestors weren't slaves in America, so what? what does it matter? He claims his black side more, he's called himself black and has never called himself white. Everyone sees him as black and they voted for him even though he looked different.

I see this "identifies as" stuff brought up a lot by Americans but what does it really mean? Is a person of fully euro descent who "identifies" as black black?
Who your mother is doesn't matter? I don't believe so.
