User talk:Accurate statement

"Obama is the first African American to be elected President of the United States,[4] and was the first to be nominated for President by a major political party.[5]"

This is not an accurate statement currently on Wikipedia, I have tried to edit it,   the accurate information is   "Obama is the first mixed race individual to be elected President of the United States, his mother was caucasion and his father was black.  He was the first mixed race individual to be nominated for President by a major political party.
