Former President Clinton said he was flattered when acclaimed author Toni Morrison called him America’s “first Black president.”
“When my friend Toni Morrison said that, you know, it was about — it was halfway serious and halfway making fun of me,” Clinton said Thursday at an event promoting his new memoir.
“But I took it as a great compliment. It wasn’t that I owe it to my ancestors because I grew up in a white, Southern, working-class family where my grandfather owned a country store and all of his customers were Black, and he loved them and they loved him.”
In 1998, Morrison wrote an essay for The New Yorker in which she called Clinton the nation’s “first Black president.”
“After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas,” Morrison wrote

And I’m certain that he took every opportunity to remind Barack about that.
Obama hates the Clintons.
And vice-versa.
Because he beat Hillary! who would have been the first, black, female, President in history.
I think Trump can drive Pedo Clinton nuts by making the claim that he is the Second Black President during his inauguration speech. The establishment gave Trump the MLK treatment.
Bill “Mandingo” Clinton never gave one flying crap about black people.
Georgetown, OXFORD and Yale. Yeah, “Black President”. ROTFL! The closet he ever got was wearing cotton underwear.
Is he out here all the time now hoping we’ll all like him when he gets convicted and we put in for some kind of character approval
Sounds like cultural appropriation to me.
How many baby mommas did he really have?
Go to the light Bill. All are welcome.
Bill Clinton followed the LBJ school of post WWII Southern Democrats
"...Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years".
Two days ago, as part of an MSNBC interview, BJ said, "Politics is the only business in which you can prove your authenticity by not knowing anything."
And what good did it do them??
“...Obama hates the Clintons...”
Well, who doesn’t? I mean, THAT’S a big club!
Does he disavow ever saying Obamaumao in a real world would have been serving them coffee. A house n.... so to speak. He gonna deny ever saying that. He being “black” and all and blowing his own.... saxaphone. What a useless turd of protoplasm. A child that is not his, a wife that definitely is not “his”. And all of them the very portrait of one of the 7 Deadly Sins—— GREED!
Now we have to listen to his PR people putting out releases on his degrading demented syphilitic “mind”. Neurosyphilis— it is what he has, and what killed Lenin, appropriately.
I’m glad he’s musing on this irrelevancy. He and Trump are almost the same age. Both born in 1946. Trump June 14. Bill August 19. So Bill’s at most 2 and little bit months younger. By far Trump has had a more interesting and I think happier life and the difference at this point is stark.
This was part of the huge effort by Hollywood to rehabilitate Clinton in the wake of the Lewinsky scandal.
hmmm....remembered as the first “black” president? Unlikely.
Remembered for cigars, blue dresses, J. Epstein and the “lolita Express”, lying under oath, “I’d put some ice on that”. the CLinton Foundation and Haiti, abetting the infliction of Hillary on us....yeah, more likely.
And lying under oath, and disbarred, and impeached. I hated Clinton from the moment when he ANSWERED the question, “Boxers or Briefs?” during his campaign. Who of integrity/honor answers such a question on national TV?
closet = closest
