An email tete’-a-tete’ between myself and some family members. I received an email that began as a forward from someone else regarding Barak Obama emaciating the military and turning America into a third-rate nation. My reply to that email and the devolving, or evolving, rhetoric which ensued between myself and a few family members...

Obama, my nigga’! I respect your feigned attempt at illustrating the racial divide that has been eating away at this country’s cultural psyche and that which is now culminating with the triangulation of hate, nationalism, and racism fed by the fuel of “illegal immigration” tossed capriciously upon the smoldering heap of racial discord.

You look about your overpriced, oversized, over-mortgaged home and entertain escaping in your...
