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.

Lest it be forgotten, all these demeaning terms Black use for poor whites were taught them by Ol' Massa. By training the slaves and the poor whites to focus their hatred, fear, and contempt on each other he got to remain in the catbird seat.
Reminds me of that line from Trainspotting, that yes, sure, of course the English are wankers, but the only thing worse than being a wanker is to be COLONIZED by wankers, and that the Scots are truly the scum of the earth.
She looks fine in those pictures too... just has a sweet look about her. One of the most beautiful classical African looking women I’ve seen.
Michelle Robinson Obama, according to a freeper from the Chicago area, spent a great deal of time in the Jesse (Robinson)* Jackson home as a young woman. She often babysat for the Jackson children....

Michelle is no more ghetto than Jesse Jackson....
* Noah Robinson was JJ biological father. JJ was a bastard child...He was adopted by Jackson when he was sixteen.
Yes he stayed true to his family (in a way) to his mother and Dianna Ross, but in his own way Mjj reject everything black...His skin, his wives, his children, even the lawyer and business managers that he trusted with his will are white.
a simple anagram reveals the truth of the matter

0bamabots (or today it’s -5bamabots) started this malicious, attack-the-family crap against Sarah and her family. I wonder how they’re liking it now.
