Black president

I expected haters from different races, but not from black men.

I was talking with my friend who claims that this presidential election was not a victory for black people because Obama technically is not black. He believes that if Obama were apart of the Black-American heritage as it pertains to slavery, segregation etc., then that would qualify him as being black. He continued to point out that Obama's upbringing was that of no black man due to the race of his mother and grandparents.

You know what I say to that shit?

PIPE THE FUCK DOWN.

Listen, just because Barack is kinda gray lookin' and has a bryant gumble accent, does not mean his ass ain't black. (he's way blacker than bryant gumble by the way). Obama was raised by a white woman and white grandparents--yes--but his father (god bless his soul) was not an active member in his daily life. Sounds to me like the quintecential story of every black dude I know. And come on. What black person WASN'T releived when we saw what Michelle Obama looked like? A black woman. She isn't ambiguously black....she is blizzack. Obama let us all know that he played for our team and knew how to pick them too.

My friend also tried to down Obama because of his Harvard education. Excuse the fuck outta me, but I thought Black people were allowed to attend the same ivy league schools as white folks. Brown vs. Board of Education was the court ruling that allowed it in high schools...mkay there buddy? My cousin Marlon went to Harvard undergrad, and Yale law school. Even though he's yellow like me and doesn't need an S-curl system, he married a woman who is (congratulations) blizzack!

What qualifies someone as black? It pissed me off that my friend tried to exclude Obama from the Black community because of his.... credentials? Tiger Wood's ass is whiter than a mothafugga, but put his ass in a time machine and he'd either be on a damn plantation or in a railroad concentration camp.

Blacks and whites alike need to redefine what it means to be apart of a culture. Just because Barack Obama doesn't sport a perm (cough al sharpton cough)or talks like a babbling idiot (cough Jessie jackson cough) doesn't mean he ain't black. Behind closed doors, Barack probably whoops his kids, and eats his chicken wings with the insert-entire-wing-in-mouth-and-pull-out-bone-method that us folk are pros at. Barack Obama is that MUCH blacker because he went to Harvard Law and that much blacker because he changed the face of politics forever without selling out. So black men...if you ain't working, don't have an ivy league education, and/or choose NOT to code switch--don't be mad that ur ass ain't president of the United States.
