Martin Luther King, Jr. was once asked, "Do you think we'll ever have a black President?"

Off the record he responded, "When pigs fly."

Now, in 2010, we have a black President and Swine Flu.



Joke not mine. Got it from somebody else, who got it from somebody else, etc.,.

There was no risk to having a black president when Obama was elected. He is advantageous to America's image. Who is going to protest it, a bunch of fucking illiterate rednecks?

Obama won by a landslide.

I don't consider his election progressive or audacious; it's tactical.

Did not say you had. I'm merely speaking on the topic of him.

Did he really say that? It's a shame he didn't live to see it.
