There's a lot of Sigmund Freud in this, and I'm talking about the cat-in-the-hat primitive, not the ostensible old lady down there in Georgia:
.....She also said that they say Barack will help the blacks but you know he is also half white is what she said to me.
Exactly how does the primitive mind-set work?
One is black = one favors blacks over whites
One is half and half = one has a middle-of-the-road attitude
One is white = one favors whites over blacks
I think I'm on the right track to understanding the primitive mind, but man, I've got a long ways to go yet.
