Suit Says Obama Can’t Run In Alaska Because He’s Of The “Mulatto” Race
Alaska-(ENEWSPF)- A man from Juneau, Alaska, has filed suit with the state’s Division of Elections to bar President Obama from appearing on that state’s ballot on the basis that the President is a “Mulatto”, and “the race of ‘Negro’ or ‘Mulatto’ had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.”
Gordon Warren Epperly, who lists his address as a P.O. Box, filed the nomination petition objection on February 21, 2012.
According to the complaint:
Barack Hussein Obama II, Aka Barack Hussein Obama, Aka Barack H. Obama has the race status of being a “Mulatto.” Barack Obama’s father (Barack Hussein Obama I) was a full blood Negro being born Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya and raised in the Colony of Kenya. Barack Obama’s mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) was a white Caucasian woman being born in Wichita, Kansas on November 29, 1942 and raised in the state of Washington and in the State of Hawaii.
Therefore:
As stated above, for an Individual to be a Candidate for the Office of President of the United States, the Candidate must meet the qualifications set forth in the United States Constitution and one of those qualifications is that the Candidate shall be a “natural born Citizen” of the United States. As Barack Hussein Obama II is of the “Mulatto” race, his status of citizenship is founded upon the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Before the [purported] ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the race of “Negro” or “Mulatto” had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.

Wow. Just wow. Horrible week in white people for me personally irl. And Tumblr has been depressing today but this is too much.
This person would go so far as to take away the citizenship of black people to keep Obama from running. It’s a bullshit suit and you can’t just go around a fucking constitutional amendment, but the level of hatred wafting off this stunt is maddening.
Okay so for those of you who may be a bit slow like me, it took me a second to understand the logic (if you can call it that) of this complaint.
To put it simply, the reasoning is that the 14th amendment grants POCs civil rights, meaning they are to be allowed to do anything the white folks can do. However, he says the 14th amendment does not grant political rights.
So since a black or mixed race person would not have ben considered a citizen before the 14th amendment, he’s trying to say that they cannot be considered a natural born citizen now.
Total and complete bullshit. I feel, once again, ashamed to be white. -_-;
