President-Elect Barack Obama - Now That The Brotha Got Elected - He Ain't Black...Again!
Somebody here ain't quite like the others!Folks can waste their time debating President-Elect Obama's racial identity if they want to, but I find the discussion completely pointless. Barack Obama has been called EVERY racial slur and endured EVERY racial stereotype attributed to African Americans and unlike many of us, he has suffered these indignities in the most public fashion. I believe that he has felt the pain, shame, and rage of every insult, every jeer, every nastiness.
Being called "Nigger" reminds EVERY black person whether they are all black, half-black, quarter-black, what in the hell ever black - folks want to measure blackness by, that they AIN'T WHITE! End of discussion.

Sad, but true.
It's not only whites doing this.
Biracial folks are doing this too.
he colored.
btw, I'm to the point where, the race of his black wife is the only thing that really matters to me in this racial haul and pulling. period.
Nothing takes the sting and/or anger out of hearing the words nigger...
He’s American Period! That’s all that should matter!
Love your blog still Prof T! Sorry for the late posts...I'm cosigning with Sheryl. I have read too many non-black people not wanting to identify Obama as black. Just last year he was black, hell..two years ago he was blacker than black..he was a black nationalist if you believe Fox (lyin') News. Now all of a sudden white folks want a piece of the pie (last year they didn't want to touch). Well Lorraine Hansberry said it best about the dream deferred... I believe Prof T wrote about some raisins...
