when he asked Pres Obama about why he didn't bring up being Black or some such nonsense.. and our Prez(actually could have even been when he was a Senator).. said, "I think they noticed"! Too funny!

White is the absence of Color and Black is the combination of All colors.
Dreams
by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Dream Variations
by Langston Hughes
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me
That is my dream!
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening . . .
A tall, slim tree . . .
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.
Thanks,

people off their game. Thankfully, there are many more people who could give shite what color he is.. or anyone else for that matter. Yay!
