I am American. And so is EmilyJ, though I thought she was in Canada for some odd reason.
How did I suddenly make it into the nationality roll call?
It was brought to mind because someone heard some crazy rumor about my not being American, which I never said. I knew how you felt in that moment. ...I was surprised at my mistake, ok. I'm getting forgetful. Dammit, I'm getting old and losing my memory. I can't pull up a list of previous posts in chronological order as a Guest, but I'm pretty sure it was the last thing I posted about before this one.
Ok, I just took a look at his mom and dad and read around a little. Dad is Kenyan, Mom is white American, yes? The interwebz says she's mostly English with some Scottish, Irish, German and Swiss. I still feel his black/white mix came out looking middle eastern. Look at his nose! His dad has the broad round face, huge cheek bones. His mom's got that skinny nose. Both have small lower jaws. And they made a baby that looks like neither one of them. His nose came out somewhere in the middle and now looks middle eastern to me. I know he's not middle eastern, he's American. I am probably not using the right word for the ethnic group.... Like people from Iraq, Persians, Bahai. It is ok if you think he looks totally black or white or black/white/nonPersian. Don't get offended if I don't agree with you. The nose most of all.
Ok shit.....I just read my original original post. I did say,
"Did Obama say anything about Jaron or Trayvon could be his son? ....Neither looks like that middle eastern president of ours. The obvious answer can't be Jaron can it?"
Shitshitshit. Ok, I admit I made a stupid error in typing. I did not mean to say he was middle eastern like in nationality, ethnicity. I knew he had a black dad and sommmething white momma and only one of these was American. I should have said:
"...Neither looks like that middle eastern looking president of ours because both boys look plain American black."
Sorry, I'm getting senile. It's been 4 years since I've thought about his ethnicity. I'd seen that picture before of the parents (not cute). I stopped caring once I found out he was natural born in Hawaii, America.
