Isn't Obama half-white and raised by a white mother? Why is he even called "black"?
I would like this to end discussion now if it's to turn into a debate about what makes someone "black".
It's just that the whole thing seems rabidly racist to me, nothing else. If I understand correctly, America is divided between different cultures. His father was from Kenya but abandoned him when he was 3. I heard some people calling him a Kenyan. What does he have to do with his father? According to wikipedia, he was brought up by the part of his family that was of English descent. Why is he associated with the part of family that he has almost no contact with?
Similarly he's accused of being Muslim despite being a member of a Christian church. I don't understand such attitudes.

BTW, there was a shooting in Poland?! Why didn't I hear about this?!Well, there was a shooting a few months ago. A taxi driver went to office of PiS (one of conservative parties) and shoot one politician and wounded another.
Pretty poor performance.
For several days both main parties were accusing each other for sowing hatred. Then they got him to speak and it turned out that he wanted to kill any politician because he had terminal cancer. He initially planned to kill a politician from a socialist party during a big meeting with people but that meeting was cancelled.
