→"Cain would be this nation's first African-American president": mutt or purebred?

If this is true, then the [[African-American]] article needs to be changed, because Obama does fit the definition given there. Or does the editor mean that Cain would be the nation's first ''real'' '''black''' president? (See [http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-black-american-and-african-american/ here] for one interpretation of the difference between African American and Black American.) --[[User:Toadaron|AaronT]] 20:42, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

:The truth is Obama is the first bi-racial president. I see your point if half black qualifies him as African-American and not Caucasian American. Cain would be the first president having both of his parents from African descent.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 22:06, 19 October 2011 (EDT)
