has offered us as reward for electing an inexperienced Black man president, a man who
probably doesn't meet minimum citizenship requirements to hold any

his name on a fried chicken place in a black neighborhood?" said Akilah
Nassy, 16, outside the Brooklyn store.

Here's a Black stereotype in the making Akilah. A Black president
who acts with all the reserve of his mau-mau blood relatives back in
Kenya.
