I look terrible in a dashiki:
Back when I was in high school, some of the kids thought I was half black, because of the curly hair. Which was interesting, because the dark and curly part came from my father, who was *not* very *ah* progressive in his feelings about black people.
One of the things that struck me as the most recent campaign went to a close was some of the wilder OMG comments from friends of mine who were yellow-dog Republicans - that Obama would totally destroy America As It Is towards some kind of Black Panther / 60’s Radical fantasy. So when I saw this animated video, where one guy is pulling the leg right off of another about ‘what’s coming next for you white people’, I was laughing my guts out. And the idea of all of us white people having to wear dashikis….maaaaan.
