Besides the swine flu, the pressing matters of today are the fate of certain black Americans. Mr. Obama holds a black and white carnival feast and serves a few cold stares (cold beer, they say!). Mr.MJ (or have i not used the right salutation!) gets buried an some undisclosed location, yet the despondency of his death creates a loom over his doctor's future practice in more than one way. That blacks are denied attention is not a viable argument, at least for now.
To what greater extent would one want to see a fellowship of such degree as expressed by Obama towards Harvard Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr.. Do remember that Obama headed the Harvard Law Review (what am i supposing?). Bailed out a fellow compatriot, or con-patriot, from the atrocities of the white-dominated Police force! That, let the offense be committed or not, the innocent black is innocent till proven guilty is the law - which Obama knows pretty well. To lash out at the Police instinctively and to save Henry's posterior from going behind bars was very courageous! Now who "acted stupidly"?
Distancing from Harvard intellectuals, lawyers and poor white policemen, lets move on to Hollywood to the cemetery with the black-turned-white superhero. Black or white, Male or female - are questions to ponder. A man so obsessed with color that perhaps he wanted his coffin custom made with white nails and locks. Let alone while living, the whitomaniac denies his doctor peace, even after his death. Yet the codicil to the ointment tube glares - "Dosage, as prescribed by the physician".
