Say what you want about Bill Clinton. I just hate, hate, hate when I hear black people point out the negative things Bill Clinton was noted for and say that's why he's a black man. It's like those are the kind of black people with no dignity, or self respect.
Obviously he wasn't our first black president. It was a metaphor used in the 1990's by some of my friends who are black I noticed. I guess my friends liked him and at the time thought Clinton was the closest thing to having a black president. I don't know why though. But it was a 90's saying that's "out of style" today. To me though, a person's race has nothing to do with governing. So whether Clinton was "black" or white, it doesn't matter. So, in other words, who cares.
@jaredbaseballfan - I think Tony Morrison was eluding to the fact that very, very few blacks were born with a "silver spoon" in their mouths like so many whites.
@americanpatriot00 yes of course there is...blacks are minority...i bet you a $100,000,000 that the tallest shortest strongest fastest richest poorest smartest dumbest, whatever...they are most likely all white because there is a better percentage for them to be more and less than blacks
All light skinned black person has a lot of white gene in them but they're still black. Beyonce's mom is mostly white which makes her almost half white. Muhammad Ali's mom and dad are both half white but he's still considered black.
Explain yuself yu mean when picasso mix red an green is a half-caste canvas/ explain yuself when yu say half-caste yu mean when light an shadow mix in de sky is a half-caste weather/ well in dat case england weather nearly always half-caste in fact some o dem cloud half-caste till dem overcast so spiteful dem dont want de sun pass ah rass/ explain yuself wha yu mean when yu say half-caste yu mean tchaikovsky sit dowm at dah piano an mix a black key wid a white key is a half-caste symphony/
Toni Morrison's comment was IGNORANT AS HELL. I am NOT a single parent, I HATTTTTTEE McDonald's and I don't eat junk food! I know more white people that fit that description! She did nothing but perpetuate stereotypes even more!
None of that shyt she wrote makes a person BLACK!
She might as well said that george bush is black because he doesn't speak proper english! or brittney spears and paris hilton are black because they are ghetto as HELL!
She meant that Clinton is compassionate and has more in common with struggling colored people. Because of this, he was able to help and do a lot for black people when he was in office.
wow... your still lost man or woman. i like bill, but the possibility that a black man can now be pres. of the free world exist.. therefor i no longer have to convince hence convince myself that a white man with white skin, is black.... wake up man... imagine telling that to a child, thell look at you as if you have no brain... lol.
I don't think you're old enough to remember what I'm talking about here, young man/woman. Everyone who was old enough realizes that everyone used to joke around and say "Bill Clinton is our first black president" when he was our president. And obviously Bill Clinton is not black and you fail to realize a joke when you see one. So you're telling me to get some brains when you're the one who took my comment literally? Ask your mom about Bill Clinton being the first "black president." She remembers
No it's the end of the discussion for YOU but not me! and WRONG! My mother is in Cuba and if she was here during the time Clinton was in office she would have never thought that he was the first black president!
and I'm not young like you ASSumed the other poster was! I was actually old enough to vote for Clinton not once but TWICE!
Just like I said before Toni Morrisons comment was straight up IGNORANT and everybody else who thought because of Clintons ways
he was "acting black" or should get the black pass or whatever!
When he was in office and people used to say the ignorant shit to me I always said to them OMG you people sho do love MASSA CLINTON! He give you guys a few dollars and you then feel that MASSA Clinton was good to you! So again YOU are WRONG! EVERYONE DIDN'T SEE THAT WHITE MAN AS BEING BLACK!
Damn right it's the end of the discussion for me. I made a joke and said "Bill Clinton was our first black president." No one got it and took it wrong. So I said,"Forget it." There are more important things for me to worry about than to debate if whether or not Clinton was our first black president. We all know the answer to that one and we all know people used to say "He's out first black president" as a light hearted joke. So, with all that said. Good bye! I'm done. Peace.
You were supposed to be DONE 3 days ago as a matter a fact MONTHS AGO. You didn't have to respond to me. and yeah I know people used to say it as a "joke" people say a lot of things jokingly does that make the joke OK or non offensive? I took offense to the "joke" and never said it and when others said it to me I came out and said how I felt about it! Just like how am doing to you right now!
i repeat despite what the meaning behind the phrase is... bad joke. dont ever forget it.. it might just save you from getting embarrassed one day. you could say what ever you want.. im still right.
Embarrassed? Right about what dude? You need to loosen up. Get the stick out of your ass. I'm just going to go and say it. You're a dumb ass. End of discussion.
Truce. Sorry I was harsh on my last post. I was having a bad day. I was the one with the stick in my ass. But yeah, it's all good. I basically say it as a joke anyway because people used to say that about Clinton back a few years ago. (I wasn't one of those who said it.) Just poking fun at that whole thing really. No hard feelings or anything. We all know Obama is our first real black president. I hope he does a good job. Best of luck, my friend.
Toni Morrison has no connection with the black community. She stole that "first black president" line from black comedians who joked about Bill's weed smoking and extramarital affairs and jokingly labeled him the first black president. Some black folks thought Bill was cool because of these things.
if u think he was u have to be the most lost MF in the world. key thought for all. while in office Bill sat and watch the 3 strike rule come into affect. Thanks brother. Brought to u by a man with no felonies
Ahhh... Isn't Obama's Mother White? John Hanson Was The First BLACK President. Look It Up!
