Black is black?

Post by Marky Dread »

So America has it's first black president and good for him, but he's not really so black is he.

By the way it's just an observation I am good at stating the bleedin' obvious.

He's a billion times blacker than the 43 presidents that preceded him.

Rumours never ended that Harding had an ancestor who jumped the fence.

To be fair, Harding was a president in the same way Alaska is a state. :shifty:

Harding's term was scandal-riddled. Something about dome-shaped teapots or something.

Harding wasn't that bad a person, really. Bit of a Reagan in that he was very personable, but dumb as a stump. But self-aware enough that he knew he wasn't really qualified for the job. He was surrounded by seriously corrupt fucks who dragged his name down with them.

But at least Mencken managed to coin a term based on his language usage.
