Funny Video of Press Conference for 1st Black U.S. President!

Many off-color (no pun intended) jokes have been made by both black and whites over the past few decades about what it would be like to have a black President of the United States.

From http://bbgcmac.wordpress.com/

As African-Americans we have had a long history of joking about a black president ever since the 70s. These jokes include the phrase of painting the White House black along with other stereotypical antidotes such as having a barbque in the Rose Garden or a house party on weekends. Of course they were indeed JOKES because none of us thought we would see the day when it was really possible. Now that Barack Obama has a legitimate shot at this, it reminded me of this spoof the great Richard Pryor did on his show way back in the day. From what I saw within some segments of White America during the primaries against Hillary Clinton, I imagine that some of my caucasion brothers and sisters really do harbor these myths when contemplating having a president who could grow an afro.
