May 2017

when it comes to a black president. White presidents can go on vacation, can get pensions, can get speaking fees. Our first black president: whining from Republicans about every vacation the Obamas ever took, whining from Republicans and some "progressives" about Obama's speaking fees, and now whining about Obama's pension. So...

Dear White People

If you complain about a black president receiving some of the same compensations white presidents took for granted, you may be racist. Think about that.

Love, a fellow white person.
