And Mary, what if the reason he chose this brown sugar sister was to further his political ambitions? What then? What if Baracka Obama realized that without a black wife, his ability to tap into the quasi-literal inner city vote would be seriously diminished? Hmmm?
Perhaps, just perhaps, you should entertain the idea that there are factors beyond "tint" that influence successful men to pursue and marry the women they are with. If fewer African-American women made spectacles of themselves on Jerry Springer, perhaps they would be more successful at attracting husbands of all backgrounds.
You've got to be kidding about Jerry Springer.

Case in point: queer McGreevey and most of closeted Hollywood and their arranged PR marriages - Yack!
