However, there is no question that he would be classified as 'Black' or as a person of African descent by anyone. We're not talking 'one drop'. We're talking 'Black'. Just like Tiger. Just like Obama. Both of whom are also have white parents. Our history clearly shows that bi-racial children are never treated as white by society ... they are always treated as 'Black' ... which is why most bi-racial children seek to learn more about the African-centered part of their history.<BR/><BR/>peace, VillagerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-5886601792500389862007-06-11T17:10:00.000-04:002007-06-11T17:10:00.000-04:00All well and good except that Lewis Hamilton is bi...All well and good except that Lewis Hamilton is biracial and personally does not subscribe to the One Drop Rule. He considers himself to be British and Biracial. Nonethelss, he IS a person of color, one who is allowed to self-identify anyway he pleases.<BR/><BR/>cooljazzcafeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-41529190310168549982007-06-11T10:32:00.000-04:002007-06-11T10:32:00.000-04:00It just goes to show the power of people of color ...It just goes to show the power of people of color when given the opportunity. <BR/><BR/><BR/>We excel in everything when we set our minds to it.

If Barak Obama wins it should be because of his achievement, integrity and potential as our leader. Tiger Woods is the best because he is the best. Due to the past struggle counting firsts declares an end to that barrier. Hamilton will continue being successful due to his efforts, thankfully not suppressed.<BR/>Thank you so much for your kind words on my TT, I responded deeper there.<BR/><BR/>As always...Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836716475835685334noreply@blogger.com
