Obama - Neo-Black (Enough)
Here's Christopher Hitchens on what's pathetic and embarrassing. Read it all - because if anybody knows what it's like to be pathetic and embarrassing, it's Christopher Hitchens:
WhyL'ilObama'sAsWhiteAsHeIsBlack,YouYankeeFools!
To put it squarely and bluntly, is it because he is or is it because he isn't? To phrase it another way, is it because of what he says or what he doesn't say? Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois is the current beneficiary of a tsunami of drool. He sometimes claims credit on behalf of all Americans regardless of race, color, creed, blah blah blah, though his recent speeches appear also to claim a victory for blackness while his supporters - most especially the white ones - sob happily that at last we can have an African-American chief executive. Off to the side, snarling with barely concealed rage, are the Clinton machine-minders, who, having failed to ignite the same kind of identity excitement with an aging and resentful female, are perhaps wishing that they had made more of her errant husband having already been "our first black president."
So, okay. Bitchens. To put it squarely and bluntly, it's because he's Neo-Black. Now back into the closet with you to shout racist epithets and stick pins into cork dolls dressed up in Mommy's old perfumed hankies.
Get a hobby, Dude!
