“obama was born from a white american.”

black american woman drunk with coffee raised her eyebrows and replied,
“he’s the hope of this nation, and he’s black.”

“he still came from a white american woman. and besides, he’s a politician like all of them.”

“…yada…yada…yada…but he won, and we put him in position. he will bring change.”
