Imagine, for just a minute, the pain of America's first black president.
Not Barack Obama - Bill Clinton.
That's about the only explanation for Clinton's lack of brotherly behavior lately: He's in pain.
He is a figurative black man watching an actual black man soak in all the love that black voters used to save for him.
Suddenly, he looks oh so white.
The former president's love affair with black America hasn't soured to the point that he'll be chased out of his office in Harlem. But black people might revoke Clinton's honorary brother card if, out of his pain, he keeps hating on Obama. He's treating the Illinois senator like an unworthy heir to his racial legacy.
At first, Clinton's slips of the lip about black voting habits and the like could be chalked up to election-year politics. Why wouldn't an ex-president try to cajole his party's most loyal voters into supporting his candidate of choice? Especially when that candidate is his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The problem is, nobody bothered to tell Clinton that honorary blackness is also temporary. No matter how much he's done on the subject of race, his brother privileges are always up for renewal.
Clinton learned this the hard way - by watching black people throw support to Obama en masse while kicking aside Hillary Clinton's complaints about the man. If anybody knows what Obama is doing to seduce black voters, it is Bill Clinton. After all, Clinton pushed the very same buttons to claim the black vote for himself when he first ran for the presidency 16 years ago.

a black reporter calling the first black president "white" ..we can't make this stuff up..lol
Put some ice on it Billy Boy and go back to your Alley Cat ways. History will not remember you favorably. Your legacy will include making 12 year olds wonder what oral sex is.
Maybe if Bill wore a gold plated dollar sign around his neck? A clock? Said “wif” and “axe” instead of “with” and “ask”?
Did they ever ask Hillary WHO YO BABY DADDY?
“and ya’no wat’m talkin’ bout!”
Quoting Hillary.
And thus the love of the black electorate is transferred from Bubba, a self-loving white guy who pandered to blacks, to Obama, a self-hating white man who panders to blacks.
It is so rich with irony that it fairly oozes.
Bill Clinton is no brotha...he is a mutha.
the clintons have to be p*ssed beyond words that the blacks that worshipped them have left the plantation
It always amazed me how blacks could try to turn a pasty-white bubba into a sepia god.
:the clintons have to be p*ssed beyond words that the blacks that worshipped them have left the plantation”
The Clinton’s couldn’t have said it better themselves. Perfect.
This black woman never thought of Clinton as “black” because when folk called him that they were not commenting on the best part of his character. Black people were indirectly insulting themselves by giving him that label because he was screwing up. I can’t stand the fact that so many of us supported this man when he looked us in the eye and lied to us. And they want to call him “black”. No thanks. We are not in the same family. He seems to be a evil, low-down, lying, power-hungry, horny bastard. What did he REALLY ever do for black people? What have the Dems ever done for black people? Nuthin’ and nuthin’.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have taught us that this is what a black man is.
Ya think! Nah, dems don’t think!
Well, ofcourse we all know that people of ALL persuasiosn have the potential to be evil, low-down, lying, power-hungry, horny bastards.
I am a white conservative & believe that most black families are moral, decent & hardworking.
It has been a mystery to me how black voters have been almost 100% behind Dems.
Heard on the radio today that Planned Parenthood gets millions from our government through a program for rural people who need support.
Most of the Planned Parenthood clinics are located in large urban cities and the highest rate of aborted children are black!! They shoul be stopped from receiving these govenment funds.
The Clintons are big Planned Parent supporters & abortion is like a religion to them.
To the original poster of this thread - my apologies. I am not trying to hijack your thread.
Perhaps my son or daughter one day.
