maybe coz he was black males heromissouri_hubby said:A real Black male? Since when are Arabs from Iran black? He has a "tanned" complexion; but so do people from Spain and Mexico, and Egypt, and Cuba, any one of a hundred other areas of the world. But they're not black, and neither is Ahmadinejad. I even question that Obama is black. He has black blood in him, but he's also 50% white. So why is he considered "black" but not "white?" Not trying to be a smart alac; I think it's a legitimate question.
