Our first Black President, where have I heard that before? If I remember correctly, I first heard this term from the mainstream press while Bill Clinton was President. There has been a thought out there as of late that touches on this. Some people have been pontificating on all the varied reasons why the press is under some spell over the history of this. The unbelievable slant the press has taken on their coverage of Barack Obama and now Kamala Harris, has had people sit back and ask, why? One of the theories put out there in the arena of ideas goes like this.

The press so desperately wants to be part of history themselves, that they are doing some “self-fulfilled prophecy” thing by wanting to be there when it happens. Wanting so bad, that they did everything they could to make it happen. To make history and be a part of history is their goal. I thought about that a little when I heard it. I thought that concept sounded grounded and possible. Then, I realized that this yearning for the first Black President goes back even before Barack Obama made it on the national scene.

The press wanted this so bad back when Bill Clinton was President. They put him on the cover of a major American Magazine with the title “The First Black President.” This thought was pushed so hard many years ago, that it became common speech and accepted when we thought of Bill Clinton. He even picked it up himself and ran with it and wore it as a badge of honor. Now fast forward some years and here pops up a man half white and half black, about whom Vice President at the time, Joe Biden, said “Finally we have a Black guy who is clean and articulate” and the press ran with it.

Now they had their first Black President. The fact that Barrack came out of a white woman’s vagina from Kansas had to be ignored. Obama’s mother was as lily white as the undriven snow, but it did not matter to the press. The leftist press looked at it as some mental obstacle they would have to overcome, and they would demand the country overcome it as well.

Barack’s skin color which favored his Kenyan father could make this easier for them to finally be a part of history. We can almost ignore the white woman thing if you listen to the press. We could overshadow the fact that he is half-white by pushing the first Black President mantra. So instead of saying this is the first mulatto President, or this is the first biracial President, they gave the world the first Black President.

This kind of mental masturbation is happening all over again with Kamala Harris. The press is now calling Kamala the first Black female to be a major Party’s presumptive nominee. Now, we all know Harris is both Black and Indian. Kamala’s skin color favors her Indian mother and not her Jamaican father, but the press says to ignore that, Harris is Black. In the Caribbean people who are of mixed African and Indian descent are called Dougla or the plural form Douglas. In America, we call these same people Afro-Asians or simply Black Asians.

So, what do they say to the man or woman who will be president sometime in the future who came from a Black mother and Black father? Will he or she be the second Black President? Will that be fair to him or her if they are truly the first? What will the future historians say hundreds of years past Wokeness? The first Black President has not yet arrived in the hallways of American history. This fact is not a pejorative against either Obama or Harris, but rather it is derogatory towards our discreditable press.
