Obama and the rules for Angry Black Men

Why does Barack Obama have to be Virgil Tibbs? Or Denzel Washington in "Crimson Tide"? Or any other angry black archetype?

    wait a minute ...

    ... isn't Barack Obama white?

    Dude, it's all just talk. Get mad? They invaded a country based on a bunch of crap they made up. We have lost more than 4500 people. They have trashed the economy. They have hocked the government. They have systematically sabotaged every agency. They are ripping us off for billions and billions of dollars. You would have to be mad all the time, man. Us cool mixed bloods gotta all watch our mixed blood pressure, dog.

    Cement shoes, now I'm on the move. Must I remind you? I'm only here to flip you.
