first black president

I've always been offended by some one pretending to be something they are not.
Doesn't matter if it's religion or race, it diminishes that group. It's not like "joining a club"

Respect for differences is more important. By respecting differences, we honor.

SO, it has always bothered me that Bill Clinton would take on a so called black stereotype role...
playing "black"

It's like joining in a religious ceremony you know nothing about. Better to show respect and support. It's not a game or a fad that is purchased. (or used)
Bill Clinton didn't exactly "help blacks" during his term.
Everyone was doing well. Remember the technology/internet bubble ?
EVERYONE was doing well ... until it collapsed. A rising tide lifts all boats.

With all the negatives like signing in NAFTA, burning those innocent people in Waco (his first act) ... fooling around with and lying about Monica, and the never ending bombs in Iraq (remember the Aspirin Factory), and the failure of fiscal responsibilty. And, we musn't forget the 49 pardons.
Why would anyone think he was a credit to the blacks or this country or anyone ?

It takes more than an office in Harlem to understand being black.
