Barack Obama, bourgeois in every way that bourgeois is right and just, will not dance. He tells kids to study--and they seethe. He accepts an apology for an immature act of rudeness--and they go hysterical. He takes his wife out for a date--and their veins bulge. His humanity, his ordinary blackness, is killing them. Dig the audio of his response to Kanye West--the way he says, "He's a jackass." He sounds like one of my brothers. And that's the point, because that's what he is. Barack Obama refuses to be their nigger. And it's driving them crazy.
It's about time.
I love that what they hate most about Obama is that he's just an ordinary guy, except not in the way that they thought Sarah Palin was an ordinary gal.
Did you see these pictures? You've got to love a family like this. Check out Obama's face in pic #2: that can only be a genuine expression of "real family guy."
