It creates a sense of scary perfection I think: someone with confidence, who takes no BS and cares about what\u2019s going on, who knows how to behave to any situation with knowledge and experience and who has a lean, firm body that doesn\u2019t age with potentially a big dick or a rounded ass attached to it? Man, that\u2019s scary perfection. Beyond politics, that\u2019s Barack and Michelle. Compared to my French president and his wife it\u2019s not even the same league.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s some creepy stuff right here not only for white folks (but mostly), for black people too because somehow it goes beyond these two\u2019s expectations of what being black mean, which simply means to be proud of who you are and do what you want to do like everybody else. It shouldn\u2019t be creepy but thanks to living in a white controlled world (who is still discussing something as irrelevant as knowing where the president was born in 2012? Not people of color), it is.<\/p>\n<p>Take rappers, prominent black figures of today. They have ruthlessness and smartness, they went from nothing to quite a lot doing whatever was needed. But they miss cleanness and politeness so people don\u2019t think of them around them. They\u2019re like clowns on TV. When Jay Z tries to be the casual dude, you don\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Now this bad motherfucker right here who -in the show- can talk his way, is loved by everyone and gets what he wants without no one noticing anything but a polite and charming man, now that\u2019s crazy. That could actually happen.&#160; Of course it happens with white dudes everyday but somehow, they\u2019re off the radar. If traders were black, they wouldn\u2019t steal anything as there would be a cop behind them at all time.<\/p>\n<p>This happened to Giancarlo <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/06\/14\/giancarlo-esposito-of-breaking-bad-stopped-and-frisked-nypd_n_1597701.html\" target=\"_blank\">recently<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Days before the interview, Esposito was stopped and frisked by New York police while walking out of a theater where he was rehearsing a play. After several frantic minutes \u2013 with him and officers screaming, and their guns drawn \u2013 they realized they had the wrong guy. Their suspect had a hoodie, and Esposito was wearing a suit. When it was over, one of the officers recognized him, from his recent turn on ABC&#8217;s &quot;Once Upon a Time.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t get upset about it, his entire career is based on race. He stays clean, he ruthlessly keeps his pain for himself because it\u2019s a smart thing to do and he probably was very polite to the police. Like bad mofos do.
