Ladies and gentleman--but mainly just white people....

By Ta-Nehisi Coates
I present your spokesperson. Seriously, it's over. He comes equipped with requisite "black friend," and a buddy who plays an "American guitatar"--as opposed to a, you know, French one. I know, I'm mocking "small-town American." I clearly have no regard for the "white working class"--the only working class that exists, ever, in history.  What do you expect? I'm the only guy who started drinking Honest Tea because McCain mocked Obama for drinking it.

UPDATE:
For the record, I hate all campaign songs equally. The "Yes We Can" video--and song--was propaganda as corn syrup. I'm not sure what to call this--except not good.
