What’s right with this picture?

Posted by clubwah on May 20, 2008

Barak Obama addressed a crowd of 75,000 on Portland Oregon yesterday. The first thing I noticed with the pics from the event is that there is a hell of a lot of “white” skin in that crowd.

    Only 75,000? Nearly 40 years ago a black Jimi Hendrix performed to a crowd of 500,000 mainly white faces at Woodstock, but he never became President. In fact a year later he was dead. And Jimi was more entertaining than Barak.

    My friend in Portland, OR, had this to say about going to see Obama:

    i never got around to molesting obama [in response to my request to go and pinch his cute arse for me]. his rally drew
    so many people, apparently people were waiting in line
    for hours and the crowd went so far beyond the stage
    that many of the folks who showed up never even got to
    see him. crazy. considering how hot it was sunday,
    i’m glad i didn’t go downtown for that!

    Thanks for sharing that pic, Wah. Great photo.

    Jimmy Hendrix played at a rock festival which went for days with loads of different acts. It’s hardly a revelation that a rock star can draw a crowd. That’s what they bloody do - black or white.

    is that Lewis Farrakhan I see over the back there?
