It is important to the Wall Street mavens and their lapdog journalists that Obama be black. It helps voters to willingly suspend their disbelief in the difference between the two corporate parties. To my own eyes and ears, the platitudinarian Obama does not look, think, talk or act black, but if massa teevee says he is then he must be. He uses Predator drones to kill children of color in various countries that have done Americans no harm, and yet he is called the peace candidate by the same media that calls him black. Go figure -- or reread Edward Bernays.
