On Obama basically getting pulled over for president-ing while Black...
Beyond my sarcasm, though, I think the president has set a horrible precedent. I mean, on a grand scale, he just got pulled over and asked to show papers proving his citizenship. I could be optimistic, I suppose, and think, “Well, maybe now he’ll take a firmer stand on the treatment of immigrants and other people of color who are harassed, badgered, interrogated and violated every single day over questions of citizenship. Maybe he’ll have this as a reference point.” But optimism is not my strong suit.
America on the continuum of re-defining Americanness aka whiteness.
