Not as long as "interracial" people like Alicia Keys, Halle Berry and Barack Hussein Obama continue to call themselves "black" or "African American," deny their white parentage (or call their white grandmothers racist) and view the world through a racial prism.


I guess this has to do with the old (American) principle of "one drop of negroe blood": if you have a black parent, grand parent, or grand grand grand parent, you're still as black as if your both parents are black. Therefor, it's perhaps easier to look up on your self as black, because white people (in the past if not today) won't look up on you as a fellow white American. Meanwhile, black people in general can - ironically - embrace the "one drop" principle in order to feel proud of being black and being in a black community.
