Black Email Forward of the Day: Obama - The Early Years

February 20th, 2008 · 4 Comments

We love forwarding emails!!! So here at SBPL, we’ll be posting popular emails that are going around black circles just in case you missed them.

Today’s forward - “Obama through the years”

Email text: “Wow, now I know why he can reach ALL people. Anyone who just sees him ONLY as African American has no clue. This is wonderful to see these photos. His entire life has truly represented so many different backgrounds/communities.”

    in that last picture he looks awkward and uncomfortable lol (who’s he with, anyway?)

    i absolutely LOVE the picture of his family, with his step-dad, mom and sister. if he gets elected, i think it’ll really be the start of an integrated world.

    “in that last picture he looks awkward and uncomfortable lol (who’s he with, anyway?)”

    Is that sarcasm? That is his current wife…Michelle Obama…He actually looks contemplative definitely not uncomfortable.
