Reuters is reporting today that "A white man convicted of burning down a mostly black church to condemn Barack Obama's election as the nation's first black president in November 2008 was sentenced on Thursday to nearly 14 years in prison".
However - Barack Hussein Obama was NOT elected as the Nation's first "black" President. That honor went to Bill Clinton who had already claimed that spot long before Obama.
In 1998, Nobel laureate Toni Morrison called Clinton "the first Black president", saying, "Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas". Noting that Clinton's sex life was scrutinized more than his career accomplishments, Morrison compared this to the stereotyping and double standards that blacks typically endure. - wikipedia

Obama has a white mother and a black father. The person who got convicted of burning down a black church to protest the election victory of America's first "black" president is going to prison for nothing. He burned down a church - and should be in jail - but he did it in response to a lack of information and education. He did it based on an assumption and not on fact. America still has not had its first, legitimate, black president.
AMEN!!
