The First Black President Indeed

I just saw on C-SPAN President-elect Obama and his wife Michelle at today's community service day lunch at the Coolidge Senior High School in Washington, D.C. Moving around the room and talking to those in attendance, he said "preciateya" a couple of times, something my mother and aunt say, and "What's going on, man?" in a way I often hear when brothers greet and talk to one another. As Michelle said to those who (ridiculously) questioned whether Obama is "black enough," "Stop it."
