Articles like this one would matter less if Salon.com would balance their black "pop" cultural articles from the likes of Debra Dickerson, James Hannaham, et al with serious black intellectual discourse that is capable of dissecting the intersection of black culture with intelligent, societal analysis. It is interesting that with the advent of two stunningly intelligent black individuals to the seat of American power, we are left with an exegisis on the First Lady in waiting's posterior. Something tells me that the next four years are going to be interesting, not only for the self-congratulatory nonsense spouted by the liberal press at every turn, but also in shining a light into the self-defeating, shallowly written, "black like me" cottage industry supported by a cadre of black writers with little conscience and less intellect and a fawning, yet condescending, white liberal media. Kudos to the posters who thought this piece was insulting. (It was!) Perhaps, the spirit of Alain Locke can be revived after all. ;-)
