Obama - angry Black man?
Excerpt:
Who would have ever expected some white Americans
to demand that an African-American man show more rage?
If you've followed the Gulf disaster, you've heard
the complaints by lying whore media trolls
that Obama isn't showing enough emotion. But
scholars say Obama's critics ignore a lesson
from American history: Many white Americans don't
like angry black men.
It's the lesson Obama absorbed from his upbringing,
and from an impromptu remark he delivered last summer.
Yet it's a lesson he may now have to jettison,
they say, as public outrage spreads.
"Folks are waiting for a Samuel Jackson 'Snakes
on the Plane' moment from this president as in:
'We gotta' get this mother-fucking oil back in
the mother-fucking rig!' But that's just not who Obama is,''
says Saladin Ambar, a political science professor
at Lehigh University.
Now some media whores say Obama should be a little bit more threatening.
On Monday, Matt Lauer (Who has sex with men) told
Obama that critics don't want him to react
to the oil disaster by meeting with experts and
being calm. They want him to "kick some butt."
Obama's cool prompted Spike Lee to tell CNN that
for at least one time, Obama should "go off."
