Mixed

If Morgan Freeman would look a bit more closely at history, he could see that nearly all black people
who are the descendants of west African slaves are mixed.
POTUS is not one of those black people, but he is a black man.
Is he more mixed than Mr. Freeman? I guess so. What difference does that make, though. This is America. When people ask us our racial origin here, they are not normally asking us for our DNA
heritage.
I love Morgan Freeman, or what I know of him. Yet I wonder what point he could be making by
referring to the President as a man whose mom was white. The President has no
slave ancestry except that his babies do.  Is there meaning to what Mr. Freeman asserts?
