From the media biography, it seems his mother & grandparents had a lot to do with his life. I can't find the reason why his father left, but the boy was not abandoned by his mother and her parents. It seems it was their work & example that sent him on his way to learn & be an activist. For a long time, schools taught nothing about melanin & thick, kinky, insulating hair, protecting people living nearer the equator. "Secondary sexual attractants," like large lips, are that way so they can more easily be seen against dark skin. Size & shape of noses vary with climate and temperature. In l947, I did art work for a university. I illustrated a chapter in a book to show how children must be taught racism. On a painted plaque with three moveable inserts, children chose from characters with three skin colors--dark for negro, middle tone for mulatto & pink for Caucasian. A professor designed family situations involving a man, woman & children in combinations. One scene had three kids in a sandbox. I never saw the published text but was told it proved children have no inborn racism. There is the song from a musical stage show about being "carefully taught." To me, Obama seems more "white than black" because of his long life with "white" relatives.

I tryed to wright the president a letter and this is what I wrote:

Dear Mr. President

Hello. My name is Dawnia Tinsman and I am a sophomore attending Cheraw High School in Colorado. I know that on your web sight I am supposed to ask you questions, well I do not have a question for you, but, I have a plan of action. My plan is:

What if you asked every person over the age of 55 or 60 to retire IF you gave them a million or even half a million dollars. Only the people who oblige to your request would receive the money.

I believe this would help our economy greatly. I thank this would help because if every person over the age of 55 or 60 retired then thank of how many jobs would have been open for other people who do not have jobs. In my case i am not 55 or even close to 60 but i live with my grandparents and both are 60 years of age. Well only my grandpa works but he works as a line man at the South East Power Company located in La Junta, Colorado. In his job alone there are at least six or seven people that would be able to retire and then there would six or seven more job openings that there was not before.

Why I believe that the people over 55 or 60 years of age if they retired should receive this amount of money is well if they retired and they had that much money wouldn't you thank they would spend it? I know I would if I were them and I didn't have to go to work anymore I would definitely be out spending it. I have asked several people in my county and every person that I have asked, "Would you retire if you were given a million or even half a million dollars to do so?" has said right off the bat that they would gladly take the money and retire. Also with so many people who would retire and spend the money given to them for retiring that would put so much more money back in the the economy and all of the companies. Then the jobs that are now hiring because of the people who retired would be able to pay their new employees because the people who have retired will be spending their money and it would eventually get to each and every company across the U.S.

Personally I Believe this plan would benefit our country by not putting us in to so much more debt by spending the money we don't have on plans that are not even helping our country. Mr. President I do believe that this plan of action is more beneficial to our economy than some of the plans I have heard recently. I would be extremely grateful if you took my plan to help our economy in to great thought. Thank you for taking your time to read my ideas to help our economy I am extremely grateful that someone is willing to listen to a "child" as i am called by many adults.Thank you again it truly means alot to me to see my countery prosper.

Sencerly,

Dawnia Tinsman

I DONT CARE IF THE PRESIDENT IS BLACK OR WHITE, ONLY IF HE HAS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN HIS BEST INTREST AND THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. I DONT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH CARE AND WHY THE WHOLE HEALTH CARE HAS TO BE CHANGED. I AGREE THERE ARE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE COST OF THINGS, SUCH AS A VISIT OR TEST THAT ARE RUN. AND THE INSURANCE COMPANYS HAVE TO MUCH SAY IN THINGS. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONCE AND, AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO EMAIL THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HIMSELF. WHY SHOULD;NT I BE ABLE TO CORASPOND WITH HIM, I REALIZE HE HAS ALOT TO DEAL WITH BUT I HAVE THE RIGHT, I BELIVE CAUSE I AM A CITIZIAN OF THE U.S.AND I AM CONCERENDED ABOUT MY COUNTRY. AND I DONT CARE WHAT COLOR HE HIS. I DONT KNOW WHO WILL READ THIS OR IF ANY ONE WILL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE ALIENS THAT COME OVER HERE FROM OTHER COUNTRYS WORK HERE BUT DONT HAVE TO PAY TAXES. I AM ONLY A CONCERENDED CITIZIAN BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THINK I MATTER AS MUCH AS THE PEOPLE IN OFFICE. WE ARE ALL HUMANS NO MATTER HOW HIGH UP ON THE LADDER YOU ARE. WE ALL MATTER. THANK YOU

Obama group and all predictive group rooted from our beloved clinton era are using a simple 'foster' crime forgiveness strategy is called ABUSE OF EXCUSES,(we do it because of Africa, to help us help Blacks,.......because, because,...), its frequency, taken alone, is a crime, stereotype, ... worse, they use this argument above US constitution, w/o any challenge, where is US, VEEP group, killer of Hamilton,..

May be it was not a face or sex change. still same gender and same face will make it a fraud, technology, register, computer programming to promote drama,... it is possible

When I met the freshman senator Obama, he was already a President ( or alike) with bodyguard, ... good prediction, soto-mayor

Now we see why all these many, many years the white man has always tried to keep the blackman down. They were afraid of their brains. Just like some of you on this feed. But stop being so angry because our 44th president is a blackman, by time he has had his firt term in office he will have done so much good for our country, all you nay sayers will be kissing the ground he walks on.Then the world will see why whitey inslaved the blackman. Didn't want to be shown up.Whitey stole everything the the blackman invented,and put whitey's name on it. Don't beleive me? Do research. Even tho the blackman was denied to read he still invented everything we use today. So how long more did whitey think they could get away with this.

So you might as well except it. It is PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, and their will be more black presidents.

We (mostly drama minds) can not advocate for a Black US President after almost paralysing South African White President. We can prescribe people what we can use for our people. It is like a sex change surgery
