This "mass" wants to know...
I kinda hinted to it when I said..
of course he can't be seen as getting 'angry'.. imagine all the 'angry black man' comments then..
Now, suspend the instant 'racism again' eye-roll for a minute and think about it.
He's the 1st black dude potus, he's battling against people who don't even believe he was born in this country and in a country where some places still consider blacks inferior. He has to be 'more than', 'better than' and 'less than' all at once..It's remarked on constantly that he never gets 'angry'.. he is always composed and cool.. those are the same buzz words as 'he speaks well'.. they mean that he's not like your typical angry black male, he actually knows his place..
and sadly, he does... he knows that it's hard enough for people to accept his name and skin color, if he shows any balls or emotion it would be even worse..
He's not accepted as being president, so imagine if he was pushy,snarky, and forceful like Bush.. he'd be called 'uppity' and 'impudent'
Imagine if he showed anger, he'd be the 'typical angry black man'..
This isn't just a 'black thing' either.. if it was HRC in the same spot she'd get the 'PMS' accusations whenever she showed emotion..only white dudes get to show emotion without a negative connotation whispered behind their back..
Now, some will just roll their eyes and go on pretending this 'black thing' is all Liberal make-believe.. but as proof that I'm really not making it up, I give you just
one single poll, from
one single state on just
one single issue which just so happens to include this President..
46 Percent of Mississippi Republicans Want Interracial Marriage BannedA new poll gauging Mississippi Republicans' preferences going into the 2012 election ended up revealing something more startling:
46 percent of GOP voters in the state think interracial marriage should be illegal.Results were announced Thursday by Public Policy Polling, a polling firm based in North Carolina. The company asked 400 Republican primary voters about their preferences for candidates for state and national offices, as well as their views on interracial marriage.
A whopping 46 percent of likely GOP primary voters said they think interracial marriage should be illegal, while only 40 percent said they think it should be allowed.
Another 14 percent said they were unsure.It was only 45 years ago that Mississippi legalized interracial marriage, and this poll indicates it continues to be a controversial subject

60% of the voters in one party, in one state either don't know or don't believe mixed marriages should be legal in this country. How do you think they feel about the offspring from said mixing? How do you think they would feel if that offspring started demanding things get done
his way and showed emotions or passion in order to get
his way? How would they feel if this offspring actually dared to make those around him, who happened to be white, do
his bidding?
and that is Obama's conundrum. As long as we have people who feel this strongly about race, we'll have neutered black men in high positions.. men who 'talk nice' and act 'just like one of us'.. ya know the 'yessir masser' kind of black man..
that's the 'theory' anyway..
