Why call himself "black"? There could be many reasons. He probably got the better treatment from them than he did from others that you think he should he should identify with. Also, being that they are the biggest mistreated and most looked upon group, the advancement of one of them would be a larger overall step in race relationship than any other group. There is also the thing that white America's institutionalized centuries ago and never changed where if you have even a single drop of black blood in you, you are considered black.
This is something that people who did not grow up as a black person in the U.S. would not be able able to understand correctly. It doesn't work the same for dark skinned people as it does light skinned people. This isn't about mixed ancestry its about black ancestry which is one again something you wouldn't know about if you didn't have to grow up with it. It could go into huge detail about the differences but with people that think like the commenters here it would be like throwing white paint on a white sheet of paper in the snow. Also the republican media makes a bigger deal out of his ethnicity and religion than the others.
He grew up being called a black person, lived as a black person, was helped along by black people so why the sour grapes about him calling himself black?
