I...That first picture is... just...AWESOME!!!!!!!! I think Obama's Black critics [both in media & in public] lose a great amount of comprehension of just what this man truly means to a lot of the Black youth of this generation. You can't measure this in a poll number or News coverage talking points or the outcome of contrived midterms. This man's courage to even "exist" in the face of chaos alone by itself is power that goes beyond any words or policy.<br /><br />Chris Rock is wrong tho; Obama isn't the "Shaq" of U.S. Presidents, he's the Jackie Robinson of this era. Nothing against Rock, I just noticed that some in the media; including "Black" journalists, have fixated more on the pointless/baseless basketball analogy more so than the actual issue of Racism mentioned by Rock. No surprise there.<br /><br />Thanks Nancy for sharing this. Sanity does still exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
