The Unravelling Legacy - I

The Unravelling Legacy - I squirm when I recall people referring to Bill Clinton as "the first black president". I thought it was joke at first - a take off on Steve Martin's line from The Jerk, "I was born a poor black boy...", something too absurd to even bother with. Yes, it's was a given, blacks'd vote Democrat, yadda yadda, but a draft-dodging yutz from Arkansas claiming any fellowship with Afro-Americans? Even in 1992, it just seemed so...

...exploitive.

That's the word I used then. And now, some NAACP members are doing the same.
