Woman: I wouldn't marry him - but I bought the black* general's book! Man: He's not surly, like NORMAL African-Americans! Man: I'm so not racist I'd vote for a (white) dude with a dark tan. Or maybe an Asian with 1/16th black ancestry. Man: Would I support a guy who likes hip-hop and briefly lived among blacks while he was paying off his students loans? 100% maybe! If he's white. The U.S. of A: Where Even a Black* Guy Can Be President. Wanna know how open-minded white-majority America is? Here's how much we flirted with electing Colin Powell, a black* man, President in 1995. We're so liberal and big-hearted that we're even kind of thinking about voting for Barack Obama. Another black* man! Granted, Obama probably won't win. But that's because he's too young and inexperienced. It's not because of lingering racism against blacks*. Hang in there, black Americans!* Someday. probably at some point, one of you will become President! White America loves you! *Offer limited to "bright," "clean" and "articulate" blacks, preferably biracial or of Caribbean descent. Lack of Civil Rights movement credentials, slave ancestry a plus.
