At the rate this jug-eared clown is going, there likely won't be another minority president for the next fifty years........
That's what's unfortunate about this racism thing.
Bo was supported by many who have the erroneous impression Bo is an American black man, when in fact he's not. He's half white, half eastern African.
Bo's experiences being a black man in America are analogous to franksolich's experiences being a deaf person in America; nothing like the experiences of authentic black men or deaf people in America. We had, uh, certain privileges usually denied others "like" us.
Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia), for example, knows very well what it's like, being a black man growing up in America. I disagree with his politics, but I don't doubt he knows what it's like, and respect him for that.
By choosing Bo as their first "black" president, blacks screwed themselves. By the time Bo's term is over, no one will want another black president, even if he's an authentic black man who knows what it's like, being black in America.
I've always been mystified by the cultural propensity of blacks in America to follow "messiahs" who've been of mixed racial derivation--even though the skin's midnight black--and who grew up in conditions better than those under which authentic blacks grew up. It's been going on for, I dunno, something like 150 years, all these
faux "black" con-men.
