West on Obama as a victim

Sometimes I think Obama tries too hard to get street creds.  The maudlin victim response to the Zimmerman verdict takes me back to the days when Sharpton and Jackson thought he wasn’t black enough because he didn’t make a racial incident part of his campaign, and he talked down to black audiences.  I always thought he had a really poor “black accent,” and had to fake the walk, the talk, and the emotion. He was raised white in a multi-racial culture and attended private schools.  Some kids have it tough.
