That obviously deliberate typo proves it -- you are really gunning for Yglesias's place in the Atlantic blogging pantheon.
]]>hats off to you, sir.
]]>Also, he's packing heat in the picture. We whites are terrified of any black guy with a weapon. Strike a little fear into us.
]]>Although, I am starting to wonder...
Have I just cast my vote for the sleek, sexy Billy Dee of old, or the the fat, greasy Billy Dee that that recently appeared in Command and Conquer 3?
I can't help feeling I may have made a horrible mistake.
]]>I believe that was Chaka Khan.
]]>As for White People Spokespeople, I'd like to nominate Lawrence Fishburn. Consider his star-role in Othello: there he played an African hired to lead an Italian Republic, cause that way he wouldn't be beholden to any one faction. Similarly, White people are simply too divided to have a White spokesman. Of course, High-Podesta Fishburn will have to have a lieutenant and an ensign - Eminem and George Clooney would do nicely, I think.
]]>"Reading Rainbow" lady for black spokesperson.
]]>As for a white spokesman, it has to be Dennis Hopper.
Do we Mexican Americans get a spokesman, or are we stuck with Lou Dobbs?
]]>He should speak for all of us.
]]>He spoke for the trees,
Now he speaks for you and me.
I nominate Sam Jackson for white ppl spokesperson. Even if he was conveying a racist thought, it would sound like The Truth to black ppl.

Although, this isn't the opening I remember and listening to this I'm not sure this is not Chakka. Hmmm ...
]]>Is there any white guy more qualified for the post? I mean, when Dave Chappelle came up with the "I Know Black People" game show, don't you think he probably thought of Riles first but couldn't get him?
]]>But isn't it true that Black people never have 1 spokesman? We have two: Good Cop/Bad Cop, Chuck D/Flava Flav, Martin/Malcolm, Jesse/Sharpton. So I say that Billy Dee should have Ernie Hudson as his co-captain. If there's one thing people of all races love besides Star Wars, it's Ghostbusters.

]]>"I want you to go up to that podium, and find my microphone."
"Which one is it?"
"It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker"

]]>Nell Carter is an excellent suggestion, but clearly we need Cicely. If she's not available, the woman from the Pine-Sol commercials will do.
