"African-Americans For Obama"

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/02/02/obama_announces_2012_launch_of_african-americans_for_obama.html


I got an email this afternoon telling me about this new Obama campaign tactic.
How is this ok in America today?
How is this not racist? What do you supposed would happen if Romney announced a “White Americans for Romney”?
He’d be crucified yet it’s perfectly acceptable for Obama?
Please explain to me why this is ok for a black president but no white in this country could ever do this?

Oh dear. Was it because I was mean or because I earnestly engaged a troll. I hate to disappoint you, dwer. :(

I'm old and these here Interwebz memes confuse me. ;)

I'm pretty certain it was intended in solidarity.

Hmm, we might have a troll but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Don't let anyone fault you for your tone though.

Keep mean and carry on.
