Obama Banter

A panel of journalists and writers gathered last Wednesday at Brooklyn College’s Woody Tanger Auditorium to discuss “The Obama Phenomena,” a presentation on the Zeitgeist surrounding presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Race was the most prominent topic of the panel. During a clip played from a BET interview show, Obama addressed the issue of just how “Black” he is. “When people say, ‘is he black enough,’ I always have to ask, compared to who[sic]?” the Illinois Senator asked the interviewer, adding “I’m not running against Flavor Flav.” Keith Brown, the Vice President of News and Public Affairs at BET and a panel member, related how race affected him in the voting booth. “When I got there in the privacy of that booth, and got ready to pull the lever for Hillary Clinton, my hand kind of jolted back,” Brown said with a nervous laugh, as if voting for Hillary was breaking some taboo. “In the end, before I left, it was a vote for Barack Obama.”
