Who hasn't noticed all this hoo-haa about Barack Obama? 'Rock-Star', 'President 2008', 'Not White', 'Not Black' ... not black? Yeah, there are all those out there who even accuse him of not being black enough to be a black President! Baichara!

The fact is, there's not that much to be black about anymore, I mean not much more than to be white about. The civil rights movement with super novas like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X is a thing of the past. Understandably, black politicians are confused about how to mark their political rhetoric now that the drama of civil rights is kaput. Well, Barack Obama has a solution. He's not even going to go there. He's not even going to go to Iraq. His thing is: let's all get along!

I tell you, that is hard to pull off. Very few politicians have managed to be charismatic advocating niceties. Let's see now ... damn, can't think of any. But Obama wants to try; in his Democratic Convention keynote address in 2004, he said:

"... we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach Little League in the blue states, and yes, we've got some gay friends in the red states. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq, and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people ..."

So we don't know if he's black enough or white enough, folks, but he's brown enough for us! We support Brown Barack for having the gumption to go out there and be all sweetoo sweetoo!
