South Africa - Jacob Zuma (ex goat herd) better represents black people

[Bruce Hornsby's Range]

than Obama, son of the Debating Club?
Apparently there is a lot of middle class, "liberal" snobbery against him because of his background. Largely a self-educated man with an enquiring mind, something that should be encouraged surely?

 

[Bill M]

WTF does that mean? For one thing, Obama is the president of all the United States, not just the black people.

 

[Elmbeard]

Not really, since you get both goat herders and debaters within all races.

Better to say that Zuma better represents goat herders than Obama, but Obama better represents argumentative Harvard graduates than Zuma.

 

[Stilton QC]

Yes, i see your reasoning. How does a Harvard educated person represent the average black voter?

 

[rainbow chaser]

because he represents true blacks and not the self righteous fakes elsewhere.
