We get a Black President and we want him to save us.. and in some ways we aren’t wrong for expecting more from Obama.
But it’s like getting a Black manager. We expect him to hook us up but that’s rarely how it goes if he wants to keep his job. Especially if he didn’t even grow up around “us” if you know what I mean.
But the white dude who been talking that good talk about what HE would do if he was ever in that position? The one who has yeeears of service and a dedicated following of progressives and white folks who follow him over cliffs? Yeah, we want that guy to put his money where his mouth is because his other ideas have been adopted by progressives.
