Wonderfully expressed and written. It’s so important that a voice as insightful and intelligent as yours is heard in today’s sea of “counterfeit complex thought.” Keep doing what’cha doing.

Barack’s prominence has really sparked some needed discussions and actions in the way we identify ourselves and how it plays a significant role in our daily lives (thoughts, interactions, esteem, etc).

I don’t know Barack but I figure that he doesn’t suffer from the HNIC syndrome because I doubt he identifies with being a Negro/Nigga/Nigger.

I can imagine that he struggles with the idea of identifying with being a black person, especially since he is versed in Constitutional Law.
