somebody told me obama was black but I don't think there's any truth in that rumour.
Probably just special effects like when Nike made Tiger Woods look black to sell more golf gloves. That Lewis Hamilton is a white black man too.
Ha. Agreed.
As for the fact that we keep banging on about him being black, I don't think it's as bad as all that.
I'm a big fan of the "lest we forget" camp. If you consider that 30 years ago Obama probably wouldn't have even got a look in, at least we're (or they are) moving in the right direction.
I am deeply saddened that Thatcher has been the only Prime Minister that wasn't a white man. Not in terms of science anyway.
However, my feelings about Obama is that he reminds me of American TV's idea of representing black in the 80s and 90s. He's a black man, but he's a pretty bloody white, middle class black man.
