I'm never sure what it means to "act white" or "act black" or "act str8" or "act gay". Can anyone explain this to me? Maybe then I will be better able to understand what Gaddafi means when he says Sntr. Obama will be acting white.

African origin?

He was born in Hawaii.

That's like asking GWB to reflect on his Saudi origin when he was born in Connecticut.

@1 when you act gay you have sex with people of the same sex. If you have sex with someone of the opposite sex you're acting straight. I'm not sure how to act black or white though without some sort of paint.

It's true. The behavior of black people is more white than that of white people and the behavior of white people is more black than that of black people.

What a pose--Gaddafi out-queens Elizabeth II. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
