re: #137 C1nnabar

In the fine old tradition of white guys telling blacks — and everyone else — what they ought to be.

Seriously, though. Three years ago, the idea that a black man could be president was a bit science-fictiony, and now pundits are fighting about which party has the more authentic black man.

Hilarious.

Of course, it’s a fine line. You have to be authentically black, but not in a way that makes white voters nervous. So:

1. No referencing white relatives.
2. No celebrating St. Paddy’s day.
3. No rap.
4. No references to racism or anything like that.
5. No ethnic hairdos.

(I’m still worried about what will happen when the Obama girls get to high school and one of them decides she wants braids.)
