A ghetto is all of a sudden the place for black people to grow up around their peers?
I live in a predominately white area, but we have a number of black people in town. They grew up with each other and the rest of us. They didn't turn white from hanging out with us. Shit, I spent nearly every day in middle school with a friend who happens to be black and she's still black. I'm still white too! Do we need to elect Mammy for the president to be black enough to be black? Makes no fucking sense.
The good news is, I don't give a shit if he's as dark as a cup of coffee without milk or as light as Michael Jackson with the flu. I don't care if he grew up in Detroit or Cambridge. Come to think of it, though, I do believe he grew up in the city, which in the north means, a place where people come in an array of colors.
