    ...you were able to read all of that into it. You even made a tenuous connection to "Birth of a Nation". Impressive.

    Of course, he neither said nor implied any of that.
    I read a completely different thing into it, basically that he thought that Obama is back where he belongs as in not on that podium/in the presidency, it's what you get for making such statements that are full of american party-war propaganda. Now you'll probably say that since he said "black" and not just black it should be obvious that he didn't mean Obama but then the conservatives made a huge fuss about how he isn't really black in the strictest sense anyway etc....
    Saying a black guy doesn't belong on the presidential seat and making it look like him being black is the only factor for that surely looks racist but then the post is almost as cryptic as some of Fragony's masterpieces so I could have easily misunderstood it.

    "Years ago, in the middle of the Whitewater investigation, one heard the first murmurs: white skin notwithstanding, this is our first black President. Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime. After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas."[14]

    "People misunderstood that phrase. I was deploring the way in which President Clinton was being treated, vis-à-vis the sex scandal that was surrounding him. I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toni_Morrison
