I know what you mean. But doesn't that say more about the black culture then it does Obama?

probably ghetto people cause he don't have that ghetto or hip hop swag but he def got the professional, educated, confident, slightly cocky type swag that would appeal to a lot of professional and even working class black some people.

Gonna not read the OP or take anything in this thread seriously solely because you used the word, "swag".

You know it too.

His mother is white like Drake's.
He went to Harvard.
Never was raised by Black parents
Doesn't speak any type of slang as we do on here.
The n*gga is from Hawaii.
Thank God he wanted to be President or Sasha and Malia would be named Courtney and Allison and would have Mariah Carey complexion.


But he is POTUS. You are proud when you see him Be real, if he was the CIO at your company instead of POTUS, would you look to him as someone with swag?

This is very true--and speaking as another swagless black guy, the reasons bolded above are why I like him as a person. I could never support him politically though.

I don't know brehs, if he wasn't a southsider of the Chi, I'd agree, but he seems like a grimy nikka beneath the surface, observe this audioclip of him from his book.

You ain't my bytch nikka, buy your own damn fries

Dude's not even from the real South Side. He's from Hyde Park--a racially diverse relatively affluent neighborhood that's the home of the University of Chicago.
