Obama Visits The House Build For Him by his Ancestors

Hetep and Respect Geminga, Everyone knows that Obama is a Multi-ethnic African American and I have talked about his European American heritage which, by his own mouth his is very proud of. Each ethnic group is rightfully proud of their connection with the President Elect. You should not be so sensitive.

Just off the top of my head Obama has Jewish American, Asian American and other ethnic/Religious groups in his family. You should be proud of yourself, asuming you voted for Obama, and your county whenever any of your country men are mentioned regardless of ethnicy.

If you peep at my column, you will note that I have written about most of them in my Political Cultural Poisoning Index series leading up to the election.

What about them "cracking the whip" to get the whitehouse finished?

Cultural Literacy Minute: mentioning whips and noses in conversations with African Americans can put you on dangerous cultural ground.

Is it your intention to offend African Americans?

Hetep and Respect Geminga. Always good to meet someone on TeamAmerica, points well taken, thanks for your clarification.

My intention was to point out that he may be conflicted from time to time.

That is a reasonable assumption. Historically, I would tend to look at this mostly from the African American side, and in the interest of Cultural Literacy, restoring the knowledge of who built what in America. Obama has demonstrated his capacity to look at such situations from both sides and that is Culturally Healthy. Americans of every stripe will learn a lot about Cultural Health as we observe Obama navigate the cultural mind fields that will naturally come up.

The very fact that his Presidency is causing us to talk about such things, is likely to leave us both knowing more  about the others cultural orientation than might otherwise be the case.
