Over at Jewcy I throw up some thoughts on Obama Speech Day. For the record, I was pro-Hillary before OSD, and am now pro-O. More to come ...Until today, black America's excitement about Barack Obama reminded me of an old Eddie Murphy skit: everyone was falling for the Obama in the tailpipe. Obama's served as lovely symbol of racial transcendance, but until today's speech he hadn't said anything white politicians haven't said.And how many black people in jail = one Obama?
Because if Obama's relevancy is tied to disavowing his candidacy as "The Black President," then he sacrifices his relevance to the black community.
But today Obama threw on his du-rag, gold fronts, and dookie gold-rope chain to keep it real and say, "YO! F this 'race doesn't matter' bullish. I'm black and I'm proud, bidges!"
