 'Clean and Articulate' "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy ... I mean, that's a storybook, man." Sen. Joseph Biden, (D-Conn), January 2007 on Sen. Obama. Has every other black male Sen. Biden encountered over decades in politics been a cross between Al Sharpton and Jules from Pulp Fiction? Guess he never met Kwasi Imfume or Bill Gray or Colin Powell or J.C. Watts. Biden must not get around much. What irks me about Biden (and others who spout the same garbage) is their implication that Sen. Obama isn't really black. Too clean and articulate to really be black. I want Hillary Clinton to get out of the way. The MTV generation is over this but selected old fucks like Biden are still clueless. It's time for a black man who defies racial stereotypes to stand on the national stage bringing light to such ignorance. Shout out to my friends over at cleanandarticulate.com who have turned the Biden gaffe into the raison d'etre for a web site. Great idea. 04/25/2007. Add Comment Permalink
