 == Shame on you Wikipedia, Barack Obama is INTERRACIAL == 

 Barack Obama is Interracial (half-White, half-Black) and should be recognized as such.  A Wikipedia contributer said that ""we are obligated to accept whatever the well-sourced sources are publishing, if we choose to accept their word.""  What are these ""well-sourced sources""?  Associated Press (AP), CNN, etc.?  If so, THEY ARE WRONG.  Are you going to post that Barack Obama is (only) African-American based on AP, CNN, etc., or use the BEST source for his racial background, his birth certificate and his own biography?  I have been disgusted with AP, CNN, and other news agencies constantly referring to Barack as only African-American/Black.  Are both his parents Black?  No.  One is White, so Barack is ***INTERRACIAL***.  I thought that at least Wikipedia would report the facts correctly, but I see that Wikipedia also is an UNRELIABLE resource and tainted by the mass media instead of being an independent, accurate source of information.  Shame on you Wikipedia!  This is a perfect example of the ""one-drop rule"" that carries on from America's racist past.  Despite Barack having a White parent and a Black parent, I have never heard any news agency refer to him as White.  They always refer to him as Black.  They (and Wikipedia) are completely denying half of Obama's racial makeup, essentially denying that his mother ever existed.  Is the media calling Obama ""Black"" because his wife is Black?  If so, that argument cannot hold.  I am Interracial (half-White, half-Black) and my wife is Filipino, but neither I (nor anyone else) can call myself (me) Filipino.  I am Interracial because of my parents' ethnicity.  Even if Obama more closely identifies himself with African-Americans, that does not define his racial identify.  As another poster mentioned, if I am one race (i.e. White), I cannot call myself Asian even if I completely embrace Asian culture.  We need to identify Barack Obama as Interracial (half-White, half-Black), a true unifier of the two races in the U.S. that have been divided for too long.  Wikipedia, it is unbelievable that this is even a discussion topic.  Report the facts and stop being wrongly influenced by the major (polarizing) news agencies.
