Always Up For Renewal

Sonya Ross trots out the idea that Bill Clinton was our "first black president," but then sounds a warning:

The problem is, nobody bothered to tell Clinton that honorary blackness is also temporary. No matter how much he's done on the subject of race, his brother privileges are always up for renewal.

Cute. Except it's not just true for white dudes like Clinton. It's true for black dudes too - they can be labeled as Oreos - white on the inside - if they dare to show up on the wrong side of the political table, or even if they just "talk white" too much.

You can be attacked as "white"
if your behavior isn't right.
