Chittlin' Talk: Is Barack Obama Black?

Is Barack Obama Black?

(Is the Pope Catholic? Is Fidel Castro Communist? Is a pimp a parasite? Is Hillary Clinton White?)

"Morrison seems to be saying that in order to be a black man, one must fit into a certain stereotype. One needs to grow up in a broken home, or experience drug problems, or have a limited educational background. These, according to some, are the defining cultural characteristics that make one, 'black.'"

Booker T. Washington said:

"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
