Obama Confronts His Blackness


Barack Obama made the poignant observation today that, if one is African-American, one tends to be treated as such.

We assume he meant, if one is an African-American US Senator, he tends to be treated as such: with great deference, a complete absence of criticism and wildly enthusiastic support from media and politicians, assuming he's a Democrat, then drafted for President and heaped with adulation and admiration.

If one is African-American and a conservative, however, then one tends to be treated as such also. Namely, caricatured as Aunt Jemima, Uncle Tom or someone insane, called "House (N-Word)" by commies like Harry Belafonte, or wished an early death by Marxist black female journalist Julianne Malveaux.
