Quote:Youre right all politics is contentious. In the case of McCain he was charged with not having strong partisan credentials. He was able to convince enough republicans that he was "electable" coupled with mike huckabee syphoning enough evangelical and conservative votes away from governor romney.


Thats a wholly different concept than the idea that if you go to school, educate yourself, learn the queens english and dress well that you are a sell out. If you "talk proper" in school you can be called a white kid. Bill Clinton was dubbed the first black president because he was fatherless, smoked weed, cheated on his wife, and was alergic to the truth and that label was cheered i. The black precincts.


The current pop culture definition of BLACKNESS is a negative caricature that black America blindly follows.

 

Again, i don't know if you saw my earlier post, but I am not sure that is as prevalent as people make it out to be.  In my years of teaching this sentiment was few and far between.  

 

Oh, and in fairness, Toni Morrison dubbed Clinton the "first black president," not because he cheated on his wife and smoked weed, but rather, to quote her, "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"
