3. Hi Erin - excellent picture - thats the approach...

4. I bet he'd come to MY neighborhood

I've seen them come through in Louisiana... giant trains of long black limousines with tinted windows and police escorts...

driving 70 in 30 MPH zones where children play...

only to stage a photo op, then fly out

I like Rev. Al and I think of Obama the same way... Obama may be a bit too "boojie" for my blood... but I think he doesn't disrespect people...

I think he'd come to MY neighborhood and talk to me like a person, instead of just a number... a "vote."

He'd probably have a cup of tea without eyeballing my tattered shades with revulsion.

I don't know the OP's intentions, but I LOVE THIS PHOTO.

5. "Obama may be a bit too "boojie" for my blood... "

Not sure what boojie means

7. Québécois use "booji" (bourgeois) as a put down. Don't know what meaning this poster has.

?

9. AA slang... for AA Gentry - "Middle/Upper Class"

Originating in the thirties, derivation "bourgeois."

come on down

:--P

Actually, one of my favorite sites is "Jack and Jill Politics," "a blog that offers a Black Bourgeois perspective on American politics."

So, I'm not a TOTAL reverse snob.

15. Oh it's ok, I see a few Ignored, too.

16. Booji:

booji


Comes from the frech word bourgeois, meaning of the middle class. Is typically a derogratory term.

"Man that cell phone is booji, it doesnt even have a camera"
or damn "That old ford of yours is booji"
