Before Obama became presidential candidate, in general black people probably knew who he was. Non-black people, not so much. Until he became a US senator, outside of Illinois you wouldn’t really know who Obama was. You have to go campaign where it will count most - where the support for you is weakest, where the people DON’T know who you are. And Obama isn’t changing who he is or denying his “blackness” (whatever that even means) to make white people feel comfortable, he’s being himself, he’s being genuine, and that’s why people support him. How he is with whites, that’s how he is with blacks.

It’s a media story because it’s another attempt to somehow show how Obama is elitist or out of touch or not black enough. Hillary was supposed to get the nomination with a slam dunk. Hillary was supposed to get the black votes without a fight. Obama’s a stronger force than they ever thought he would be. The media loves the Clintons and I don’t think for one second that the Clintons have nothing to do with all the controversy and drama that keeps popping up, while getting a complete pass from the media on all those skeletons in their closet.

At some point, PARENTS will need to take RESPONSIBILITY for their children and DISCIPLINE them at home!!!!!!

Another thing that I think many people are missing here is that Deshawn was enrolled in a Special Education school…so I posed a question: Should that be cause for exception?

If I recall correctly, Jolita Berry’s attacker was NOT arrested…she DESERVED to be, and race/gender has NOTHING to do with it!
