I don't mind pride, as long as it is not shoved in my face.

Ah, but we have not walked in their shoes, and it makes a huge difference.  Having lived in the south for over 68 years, I have seen first-hand how the blacks were treated.  It was horrible.

I cannot blame Obama or any of them for being proud of their race.  They have caused a 180 degree turnaround since my childhood, and it took years of hard work to accomplish this.

As for how they define their race, the laws say if they have 1/16th of black blood, they are considered black.

They are just following the law.
