MMmmmmmHmmmmm…… tryin to change up now!

It was clear what she meant when she said it back then. Love her.

Not that I don’t believe her cuz her statement was indeed cherry-picked, but she’s year’s late with the explanation.

And why did she feel the need to liken Bubba to Black folks because of his earlier socioeconomic status? That’s why Negroes ran with that statement.

hmmm, here’s the actual paragraph. i don’t think folks misunderstood her.

African-American men seemed to understand it right away. Years ago, in the middle of the Whitewater investigation, one heard the first murmurs: white skin notwithstanding, this is our first black President. Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime. After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas. And when virtually all the African-American Clinton appointees began, one by one, to disappear, when the President’s body, his privacy, his unpoliced sexuality became the focus of the persecution, when he was metaphorically seized and bodysearched, who could gainsay these black men who knew whereof they spoke? The message was clear “No matter how smart you are, how hard you work, how much coin you earn for us, we will put you in your place or put you out of the place you have somehow, albeit with our permission, achieved. You will be fired from your job, sent away in disgrace, and–who knows?–maybe sentenced and jailed to boot. In short, unless you do as we say (i.e., assimilate at once), your expletives belong to us.”

Let ‘em know soror, let ‘em know.

Hey that quote shows that her explanation of the context is true. But she did actually say he is the first black president.

She’s a poet so she wasn’t prepared for the power of a sound byte.

Why is everyone retracting their statements? This is crazy. If you all want him. You got him.

This “Black” Clinton joke has been going around for years. I’ve heard many comedians, radio personalities, and poets make the very same remark. I’m confused as to who was ACTUALLY confused by his skin color?

Well, I guess the upstart is even Nobel Prize winners have clay feet.:-D I do suspect, however, Ms. Morrison does have an idea about former prez Clinton’s “real instincts” in regards to race…which is why she went with Senator Obama.
