"It's one of those amazing coincidences that forces one to wonder. Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Tomorrow is the inauguration of Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States. The Washington Post is full of articles and commentary about both events and how they are intertwined."
Dolly Parton was born today in 1946.

"He's half white, too, so let's not celebrate too much."
In before all the left wingers come in to call you a racist and hate-mongerer!

"He's half white, too, so let's not celebrate too much."
Don't forget he was raised in a white-household.

Obama is black enough to be hated, and bigots don't care who raised you.

"Obama is black enough to be hated"
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, GANG!!!

My point is, as far as racism goes, it doesn't matter if he's "half-white". But of course we can always count on the jaded commenters of Brooklyn Vegan to incorporate cynicism about Obam into their pose.
