The first black president!

Progress? Well possibly in so far as pro is the opposite of conn… There are two things wrong with the above title as outlined in the times this morning, first, he’s not president yet, and second he’s not black either. President elect Obama believes that “black” is a nagative label for African American.

Personally I would like to have seen hilary get it… Not in that way!!! But I guess someone who has a few bad days a month being in charge of the worlds foremost nuclear arsenal could be seen as a bad thing.

It’s interesting to note though, that a person who has a few bad days every month and a non-black black guy both outdid a decorated war pensioner in the popularity contest.

    This posting is wrong on so many levels, but it is another “Deviant classic”. One in the eye for the political correctness brigade.

  • Yeah it was hinted at the other day that I should probably sign up for gender and ethnic sensitivity training… again! If it were only taken by a bunch of touchy-feely girls I might sign up, instead it’s taken by a bunch of over-sensitive touchy-feely blokes pretending to be girls… but not your classic well groomed Asian lady boy, but the more “let herself go” kind.

    I wonder why we have to label the new president as “African American,” surely we should just call him American. Perhaps even North American, or to whittle it down a little further “USA”

    Otherwise they might think the man is President of the world, or at least America and Africa, which the Canadians and Cubans might have something to comment on.

    If we do follow this to the final conclusion though… when will the indigenous people of the USA become the first “American USA,” which surely they can use as the countries boundaries were not in place before the settlers arrived, so they can claim to be American. Not just an American American.
