The word is out that the Obamas will be spending part of their summer vacation in Martha's Vineyard. "Many blacks from Oak Bluffs are elated that the Only One-in-Chief may be joining them. "People are going to lose their minds!" Tonya Lewis Lee says.
At the same time, there's also a bit of wariness among the wealthiest ones, an uncertainty whether Obama will affirm them. "Obama is more a man of the people," says a Vineyarder who's part of black high society. "He doesn't seem to identify with affluent black people. His wife definitely doesn't; she is basically a ghetto girl."

Anyone who believes this is full of crap. Can I quote the Godfather? "I don't care how many dago, guinea, wop, greaseball, goombas come out of the woodwork." Yeah sure, no prejudices among whites for whites, right? Sure thing, my kraut, mick friend.
Elitist snobs come in all colors just the same as racists do.

This writer is an idiot. Ever heard of red-necks? (and I'm talking about the modern definition of red-necks) Ever heard of trailer-trash? And then there are the Mexicans who live around us. They have plenty of prejudices against other Mexicans. It's human nature.
They probably voted for him.
Remarkable resemblance...
Then, Joni L. Reynolds, dear, you don't know much about 'other' races!
Ah, the indignities White Sox fans endure.
If your hair isn’t straight as a ruler, and you’re darker than a brown paper bag, you’re not allowed into that society (rules for the women).
Oh, and if you are a REAL African, well.....let's just say the American blacks hold you in a ton of contempt.
