My Daily Beast Sidwell Blog Post Picked Up By Anderson Cooper Blog

DateThursday, January 8, 2009 at 0:18 | Authorbaratunde | tagged , , , , , , , in
How many times can I use the word "blog" in the title of this blog post?

Anyway, I forgot to post this on my own site, so for reference and bragging rights, I wrote an oped at The Daily Beast about my life at Sidwell Friends, with advice to the Obama parents. It was shortly picked up by the Anderson Cooper 360 blog. Hooray for blogging!

Note, the comments on both sites really seem to have been made by people who are not that smart nor observant.

"Be prepared to hear “I’m not racist. I voted for you!” as an excuse for such closed-mindedness, ignorance, or worse"

Dude... i voted for Obama JUST SO i could say that and so that i could put up http://NoMoreRaceCard.com" rel="nofollow">NoMoreRaceCard.com in a clear conscience since my state was going for The One anyhow.

So hear me now - I am not a racist - i voted for Obama. Now stop blaming me for your problems.

That's awesome. I'm like an Anderson Cooper fan but I don't think he's hair color came naturally white.
