Obama's mama (or, rather, "The Obamama"?).

I was thinking yesterday that Obama's mom probably had a think for black guys - she grew up somewhere in lily-white Kansas, met an exotic Kenyan man at college, and not only was he nice, but just him being him did for her, and then it's all over from there...

I'm not saying that's wrong, since everyone has their types, only when someone's type is another race, it's a lot more apparent than when someone's type is something more subtle like big tits or something, and, because of their biracialness, in a lot of cases the kids are living witnesses to what turned their parents' cranks, which is probably all the more fucked-up for the kids, since if let's say your dad had a thing for big tits, you might not catch on as much unless you knew all or a lot of his dating history, rather you'd think that your dad truly loves your mom for her personality and she has big tits to boot but that never got your dad interested in the first place, that was just a bonus, but if your dad was one of those nasty white guys who only go for Asian women, every day you'd look at your mom or you'd look in the mirror and see your teeny-tiny epicanthal folds and be like, "Holy shit, my dad's one of those nasty white guys who only go for Asian women," and how fucked up would that be?

So, with Obama and the Obamama, not only do we probably have that whole fucked up part about a kid like definitely having sexual insights into their parents - if you were a biracial kid, how could you not think about that, especially since you probably catch shit for being biracial all of your whole childhood life and it's always on your mind and at some point wouldn't you have to wonder what attracted your parents to each other? - but in a way, now the whole nation has sexual insight into the mom of a major candidate in the primary, which must be a political first, if anyone else besides me is thinking about this.

Though, I'm glad to say that although for some people a black man and a white woman is the most racially-charged coupling possible in the U.S., at least a white woman going for a black man doesn't have the inherent sexual creepiness of those nasty white guys who only go for Asian women, especially since the Asian women in those situations tend to be nice and a little naive and politely full of giggles, whereas the nasty white guys tend to be pasty-nasty and funk-ugly and majorly socially dysfunctional as well.
