Oh, I'm not one for conspiracy theories but if he was a white guy whose dad was from NZ and it was thought by many that he himself was born in NZ, would it be racist to suggest he go back to NZ? The "First black president, first credit downgrade" post from a couple of weeks ago was almost certainly contrived as a racist statement though open to interpretation as being two separate statements. I think Kim went overboard in protesting the alternate nonracist interpretation. His statement here, though, is definitely more open to an interpretation of being a statement of nationality vs. one of racism. Kim baited you, GAK, and you went for the bait. Kenyan is Kenyan and black is black but they are not neccessarily the same thing - the "credit downgrade" post said black and you saw black but the statement today said Kenyan and you instantly read it as black. Sometimes we're so busy trying not to be racist that we go too far the other direction and end up be racist in a different way.Frankly, it's nice to know that I live in a country where a person of a minority race can be elected president and I'm glad it happened in my lifetime but it's most unfortunate and disturbing that this con man was the one elected and I wish he'd go back to wherever he came from.
