This is an instant classic. Nothing expresses the range of views and emotions within the Black community regarding Obama’s candidacy like this spoken word piece.
I first learned about it a month ago or so when someone posted a Juan Santos commentary – Barack Obama and the “End” of Racism – that mentioned it.
Santos has another intriguing piece called: Obama’s Denial: The Fear Of A Black Messiah.

Obama made me care. UGH! Who does he think he is? :)
