How could you be Black?
I'm reminded about a Malcolm in the middle episode. Malcolm wants to take a job that would set him for life and his mother tells him no.
Lois says that at Harvard, Malcolm will have to work harder than his classmates and will accomplish more than they do, but they will continue to look down upon him. When Malcolm argues that he could have taken the job and "bought (his) way into office", Lois concludes that Malcolm "wouldn't have suffered enough" Because of the struggles he's forced to endure, Malcolm will realize that there is more to life than flaunting how intelligent he is. After college, the plan provides for him to channel his energies into a political career, and after starting off as a district attorney or running a foundation, he will be elected governor of a mid-size state, and then President. They envision that he would then become one of the greatest Presidents ever because he would represent, understand, and, more importantly, show empathy with the interests of people like his family, which, his parents say, no other President has.
Even if you don't agree with Obama any Black person knowing the trials of a Black people would still respect him and what he has accomplished.
Or are you just a crab in a barrel?
