That ought to be the impression? That one has to get? You apparently have some racial issues to work out, there.
Quote:But just like you said, you grew up together, and I presume that you came from a middle class neighborhood with aspirations to amount more than simply becoming a cashier at the local grocery shop.
And what's wrong with being a cashier? It's honest work just like anything else.
Quote:About mammy...Well, can you actually brush aside the one part of a person in favour of the other? Obama is no more black than he's white, in terms of his blood, and he is also very cultured, speaks the english language with a clear accent(I don't know if he speaks any other languages besides his native english), and has had higher education.
So he does not fit the "black guy" type that we remember from Harlem or Bronx, or Detroit.
I don't know where you were trying to go with this thread, but you ended up in 1950s Mississippi. Congratulations.
