Honky-Talkin’
I’ll accept that “driving while black” is an undeclared crime if you’ll accept that “acting white” is one, too.
[Jesse] Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white” in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La.
…
Later, Jackson said he did not recall making the “acting like he’s white” comment about Obama…
Maybe he says it all the time.
But I don’t know what “acting white” is, and I do it every day. Does Obama have Carrie Underwood on his iPod? Is Sandra Bullock his favorite actress? Does he love macaroni and cheese?
Poor Barack. He’s black enough to win the vote of American liberals, but not black enough for Jesse Jackson. Maybe he should start dropping “dog” and “bitch” into his stump speech.
