First there was Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, drawing criticism in February for saying she was "proud" of her country for the first time in her adult life. Only her husband’s run for president has made her proud of America. That's extremely narcissistic and self centered to say the least.

This was followed by Obama's racist "pastor". Obama's statement that he never heard the racist rantings of his "pastor" — the racist is no pastor — is ludicrous. Anyone who attended 1,000 sermons in 20 years and denies knowledge of the nature of the content of these speechs is a liar. If you do not agree we have a wonderful bridge in Brooklyn, New York that's up for sale.

And, last but not least, Obama's remarks about his Grandmother, calling her a "typical white person." To be clear, here's what he said about his Grandmother — who, by the way, raised him and is still alive. He described her as:

"...a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe." In other words, in Obama's world, all white people are afraid of black people and go around spitting out ethnic and racial stereotypes. Good to know.

It seems that being a racist is the "new black".

Alicia Keys, 27, tells Blender magazine: "`Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. `Gangsta rap' didn't exist." The Beyonce-wannabe said she's read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead," according to an interview in the magazine's May issue, on newsstands Tuesday.

Another of her theories: That the bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."

Keys' AK-47 jewelry came as a surprise to her mother, who is quoted as telling Blender: "She wears what? That doesn't sound like Alicia."

Though she's known for her romantic tunes, she told Blender that she wants to write more political songs. If black leaders such as the late Black Panther Huey Newton "had the outlets our musicians have today, it'd be global. I have to figure out a way to do it myself," she said.
