"See, massa Barack is one of us so that make it all good!"
Exactly. He's "Keepin' it real" - meaning, as long as he's pissin' off Whitey, no matter what he does, it's all cool!
My black co-workers are down in the dumps; the Obama pictures that went up in cubicles in 2008 were removed a few months into 2009, when they realized nothing was getting better (for them or anyone else). They bemoan the loss of vacations they had in their brief flirtation with middle-class lives, and spend a lot of time checking their bank balances from their desks to avoid bouncing checks.
I believe a lot of the civil unrest, while spurred on by the Obamunists, is in fact due to the realization that black lives don’t even matter to Obama himself. If they only fell further behind every newcomer to these shores during the past seven years, what can they hope for in the future?
