Many of us have heard Bill Clinton referred to as the first Black President. I never knew who had said it, but always understood it to mean that Bill Clinton supported policy's perceived as beneficial to the Black Community.

It seems that I was wrong. According to an article at Time.com (5/7/08, 10 Questions for Toni Morrison), author Toni Morrison had something different in mind when she had first applied the label to Clinton.

Quoting Toni Morrison: "People misunderstood that phrase. I was deploring the way in which President Clinton was being treated, vis-a-vis the sex scandal that was surrounding him. I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race."

I had totally missed hit. Toni Morrison was referring to the victim hood of Bill Clinton. Having cleared that up, I suppose Barack Hussein Obama will be the first black President. Hopefully he won't be a victim too.
