So, they say Obama is black.

Can somebody explain to me why everybody is so focus on saying that Obama is black.? Wasn't his mother white? That makes him 50% black and 50% white. Have you seen a picture of his mother? His features are just like hers. Yes, the color of his skin is more like his father's but that doesn't make him 100% black. What would his mother think if she was alive? It is like she never existed. In fact she and her parents (also whites) were the ones that raised our future president. Since we all want to be politically correct, wouldn't it be better to say that he is by racial? This sounds to me as a residue from the times of slavery.
OK, finally I got it out of my system. Thanks for listening.

I'm new at this

Yes, my friends, I'm new at this. I'm not even sure if someone will be interested in reading what this española wants to write. I often have thoughts I would like to share and maybe this is the place where I can do this. I have to learn how to put pictures on it. I will try. If you have suggestions on how I can improve or do new things I can post just let me know.
And just for the purpose of starting a conversation I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time. Do you suppose to be true to yourself or to your spouse? And I will explain. If you disagree with your spouse about something important in life, do you follow your own fellings, ideas, believes, or you support your spouse not matter what, even if this means you are loosing part of who you are? Don't you suppose to be one?
I will love to hear your opponions.
