Adam Nossiter certainly picked these small southern towns accordingly. It's amazing that some people still negatively call Obama "mixed race," as a person who is part white yet somehow "tainted," like Frado in Our Nig. One man commented on how he couldn't hate Obama but couldn't trust him either, similar to Jack's take on Frado: can defend her but continues to dehumanize her.
Refering to Obama as "neither / nor" seems archaic, back to Mary Jemison's or Mag Smith's time periods. Are people with these notions justified if they have been taught them generation after generation?
