Does it take whites to tell Obama to hire more black folks?
It looks like everyone, other than black folks, are willing to address the Lilly Whiteness of the White House.
Does it take whites to tell Obama to hire more black folks?
Can a great black Journalist get the conversation going. Well as far as DeWayne Wickham is concerned the NAACP may be failing to put heat on Obama.
So does it take another Journalist, Maureen Dowd to get people to take a look at what the White House Is Missing?
Candidly, she says something black people have thought but have been unwilling to say:
"The Obama White House is too white."
She also says: "The first black president should expand beyond his campaign security blanket, the smug cordon of overprotective white guys surrounding him — a long political tradition underscored by Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 when she complained about the “smart -ass white boys” from Walter Mondale’s campaign who tried to boss her around."
Bingo! Read You’ll Never Believe What This White House Is Missing. "if you can handle the truth."
