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.

[jaredbaseballfan]

@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

[americanpatriot00]

@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.

[WunderDoob]

Bill Clinton isn't black, but he does understand that all men are brothers.

Ron Paul 2012!

[Manano09]

0:52 now why must he curse? typical monkey :D

[jetdatboy]

HELL YA!!!Black isn't defined as skin color when it comes to culture...1:03 That is a black man...

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.
