Many times I have thought if only the president was Jewish, because Judaism is a maternal religion and let's say for example an orthodox Jewish woman conceives a child with a gentile man, the child is deemed Jewish, on the other hand let's say that a Jewish man has a child with a non Jewish woman, the child is not Jewish.
President Obama'as mother was white, his father was black, according to Halakha (Jewish law) President Obama would be white.
I wish the Jewish law applied to all ethnicity's then the Tea-baggers, Birthers and the Donald Trumps of the world wouldn't be so obsessed with racism or would they?
