Recent photo of a little boy visiting the White House. He wanted to feel Obama’s hair because he wanted to know if the President’s hair felt just like his. Obama obliged. Priceless.
This, to me, will always be Barack Obama’s legacy. The part I bolded is the reason why Obama could sit at his desk and play with his balls for the next four years and he’d still be one of the most important Presidents of all time. This kid now knows that the President’s hair feels just like his. Like… this picture always makes me so emotional. Black children growing up didn’t have the opportunity to see a President that looked like them or looked like their family until Barack Obama was elected. When white people deny white privilege, I always bring up the example of the Presidents; white children have the privilege of seeing 43 examples of a white man being the leader of the free world. Until Barack Obama, the major images of black success were in sports and in hip-hop, two avenues that are both defined by white people anyway, since it’s whites who own the sports teams and record labels. Barack Obama gave black children an image of success. The President looks like them. That’s why I’ll always defend Barack Obama no matter what “radicals” want to say about him. He’s my President and just by sitting in the White House he is doing more for black people than OWS or Anonymous has ever done.
Never seen so much bullshit in my life.
Here’re the worst parts:
“the reason why Obama could sit at his desk and play with his balls for the next four years”
“most important Presidents of all time”
“When white people deny white privilege, I always bring up the example of the Presidents”
“the major images of black success were in sports and in hip-hop, two avenues that are both defined by white people anyway” (YES. OBVIOUSLY HIP HOP WAS DEFINED BY WHITE PEOPLE HAHAHAHA)
“He’s my President and just by sitting in the White House he is doing more for black people than OWS or Anonymous has ever done.” HOW IS OWS FOR BLACK PEOPLE? HOW IS ANONYMOUS FOR BLACK PEOPLE?
THAT BLOGGER MAKES NO SENSE.
The whole entire point is:
“Barack is black, other people are black, they must really like him - because he’s black. Because he’s black, he’s the most important president.”
Here’s a fucking RADICAL idea, if we stop talking about race and color, racism and all that shit, things will be more equal.
HERE’S MORGAN FREEMAN TO ILLUSTRATE MY POINT

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you white d00dz, complete with citing that Morgan Freeman quote that’s been ripped a part a million times, denying white privilege, and gleefully noting that OWS isn’t for black people (as if we don’t already know OWS isn’t for black people).
