"One well-known African American writer, Debra Dickerson, famously objected to calling Obama black arguing that because he is not descended from slaves, he is not of the people properly defined as "black."
Ergo, he is not black - at all."
So since my grandparents were Pols in a gulag I am therefore descended from slaves and thus black.
It shocks me that I'm black and yet my half-Sudanese darker skinned cousins aren't!
