    Barack Obama and Jason Heyward

    Two black guys that don't love either of what they do or what team they play for.

    Discuss.

    If he worked for McDonald's, you'd be fine calling him black.

    I figured that's what your food fight comment was about. Insinuating that he should be tossing fries.

    Why does it matter to you how he or a group of people identify race.

    Also what's the deal with this latest republican trend of painting Obama as not black? I'm genuinely confused as to the direction of this tactic?

    It somehow makes sense to their crazed audience.

    People of African ancestry in these United States—partial or total—aren't the ones who invented the one-drop rule; yet now privileged whites are criticizing them for identifying as such. There's a cognitive dissonance there that I want to say is white people jumping their shark.

    Jason Heyward isn't really white either. He doesn't love baseball.

    The only thing dissonant about this thread are the levels of white man's burden.

    First, I'm not calling him anything. Sav called him a black guy.

    Second, who ever said that he self-identified as a "black guy," thank you. If that is the case, fine. It is most certainly his choice.

    Third, I'm not criticizing, I'm asking. It was a serious question and not one bred out of me being a closet racist or something.

    Fourth, another serious question, why do some people not want to identify as being of mixed race (or use another term if you'd like)? Is there some shame to the idea still? Or do you think it is a measure of shame for the race they drop? Or mainly pride for the one they identify with?

    Fifth, never even heard of the "one-drop rule."

    Just seeking to better understand. Wish folks around here wouldn't automatically start a food fight.
