He has excellent taste in friends. And his friends have excellent taste in clothes. And their taste in clothes extends to their good taste in tuxedo accessories.
All joking aside, he may or may not be aware of how his role in white imperialism. he is nonetheless a tool of that system. much the way a law enforcement officer can be. or a school teacher that provides skewed, false or bigoted information, because its in the school curriculum she has to follow, or lose her job. (for the record, being broke, being pregnant, being homeless etc are not good excuses for taking jobs that harm black people or people in general.)
he is a patriot. and so far as i can see, not a critical one. take kwame nfume. he is probably a patriot, but not a flag waving idiot. he realizes he is working the system for people's sake. he is probably not quizzing his kids of the history of the amerikan foreskin-oops-i mean forefathers.
i think he got an african name, so they are once again playing to our emotions and our lack of dedication to getting the facts. lot of lazy people out there. "oh he got an african name, he must be down." the man wears american flag lapel pins. he aint down with nothing but Satan, or whatever white people personify evil in these days.
again, he may or may not be aware of his role. it doesnt really matter either way. tell your children to kick him in the shin if they see him on the street.
