"If Barack Obama is an Oreo, then every member of this generation of African-Americans is an Oreo, because we stand on the shoulders of the people who fought for our rights, and all of us say that you cannot blame 'the man' or white racism for everything that ails the black community." | When you get right down to it, most of those who might be referred to as "the man" have no more authority, money, or power than the ones who use the epithet. What they do have, they've had to work hard for.
