Corey, I just read this and I think it's great! I couldn't help but notice, however, that the white author referred to Obama as "a liberal who happens to be Black." While not a central point of his argument, the author's language immediately made me think of the chapter in Feagan & Picca's "Two-Faced Racism" where those authors discuss the white phenomenon of describing non-whites as "people who happen to be _____." Interesting.
