Politics and Culture

This does not bode well for my black brothers and sisters. It also reminds me that the most impressive thing about Barack Obama is his apparently scandal-free marriage, all the more remarkable considering the statistics of black marriage.

On a side note: I think one of the reasons Obama did so well amongst blacks (Remember how blacks preferred Hilary at first?) is that he chose to marry a black woman. Black women may have especially appreciated his partner choice. For black voters who care about such things: His marriage combined with his church may have given him enough black "cred" to counteract an otherwise very "white" upbringing.
