White People Black People Love

Everybody loves good old Abe, I mean; he freed the slaves’ right? Right. Prior to the election of President Obama and the rise of Bill Clinton I think it’s safe to say that old Honest Abe — who was friends with notable abolitionist Frederick Douglass — was the favorite president of many people in the black community. Now those of us who went to college and took African-American studies classes have read a few of Abe’s speeches. We didn’t quite like his portrayal of blacks in some of them. But hey, without the Emancipation Proclamation we would have had to revolt and kill white folks to get our freedom. That could have reflected negatively on us as a people so Abe, we thank you.

Do you have any favorite white people? Don’t be shy!
