People, I been slippin' in a major way. MIA.... Absentee.....Bullshittin'! In all, I apologize for the absence.
A few things have occurred in the last few days/weeks and we now have a new President named Barack Obama. Now mind you, I've never been into politics like that b/c I feel like most politicians are only in it for personal gain. However, President Obama has so far seemed to be a stand up guy for the people.
Nonetheless, although a brotha, his heritage is much different than most of ours. Even for those of us with mixed heritage. His father a Black man from Kenya; his mother a white woman from Kansas, MO.
What puzzles me however, is the comment(s) made by my dude Aaron McGruder the creator of the Boondocks; one of my favorite comic strips and TV shows. Now, he normally brings interesting commentary and realism to current events and our history as it applies the characters, their struggles, and our life as Black people here in America. In essence he seems quite knowledgeable about they ways of the world, especially with a character such as Huey Freeman....and particularly since I use Huey as my icon on Google.
So my question is.............How the f**k Aaron McGruder gone say that Pres. Obama ain't Black? Somebody get back at me about that.

what? no award? Douchebag of the century? something?
Many people use the word "Black" to describe how a person was raised (culture) and not necessarily who a person calls Mom or Dad. President Obama went to a private elementary school, grew up in Hawaii, and graduated from Harvard...Aaron McGruder probably would say that is not very Black. Now what he probably does not realize, Big Rueb, is that when this guy walks down the block...he's a Black guy. When he is standing next to a white woman in an elevator...he's a Black guy. When he's sitting in class...he's a Black guy. McGruder should know that because...he's a Black guy.
Shame on Aaron McGruder.
WHOOOOOOOOOO? SUcking teeth and rolling eyes. IS he serious?
