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?

I never saw that coming!!!

When I saw that he was talking about "African-Americans for Obama" I thought "well geez he must have been talking about Americans."

But then he implies that there are African-American-Africans and my brain is like "WOAH!!! TAKE IT EASY I'M ABOUT TO BLOW HERE!"
