Obama Legacy

I was probably the only journalist in Ghana who refused to be wowed by President’s Obama’s beautiful speech in Accra, during his July 10-11, 2009 trip to Ghana. In the article I wrote to welcome him, Welcome, Emperor Obama, I said: “It is true that things have changed, and that the United States now boasts a black president, but, given its history of violence against the non-white world, the onus is upon the U.S. to prove its sincerity.

Okay People, I am telling you now before you watch this video that this is gonna cause a stink.
Why? Because I am going to address the issue of racism and its connection to "why" people believe Michelle Obama is a man.

Now, I have a lot of other material I want to put up in my videos, but it seems that I have been spending hours responding to comments and from the comments I can see that the jury is split almost straight down the middle. Just look at the up and down votes on my videos.
