Yup, here he is pictured with his black grandparents.

The argument that Barack Obama is not black is certainly a novel one.

There's nothing novel about calling him biracial. Or are you suggesting not cynically playing the "one-drop" game is what's novel.

Try again.

Are you also suggesting Barack Obama is not black? Are you the arbiter of his blackness?

Barack Obama is, of course, descended from John Punch, the very first African slave in Virginia. Facts like that demonstrate the difficulty of using this or any metric rather than simple self-identification.
