Damn that Obama!!!! I was supposed to be the first Black president!
PSYCHE. :-)
MSNBC & CNN are 4 years late.
I called this back in 2004, in a blog post I called "The Future".
Barack Hussein Obama is the presumptive nominee from the Democratic Party for President of the United States of America.
Think about that for a minute.
As we sit, a Black man has a 50/50 shot at becoming the leader of the free world.
And, if I can get all Marcus Garvey-ish on it for a moment, we're basically a coin toss away from having a man who looks like, frankly, the majority of the population of this planet, become the de-facto leader of said planet.
A bi-racial man of African descent who was raised by Americans of European descent, who worships with the majority religion on Earth (namely, Christianity), but wears a name with deep cultural resonance with the 2nd largest religion on Earth (namely Islam).
Delicious.
