Once Upon a Time in America There was Michael Jackson
It was while leafing through Life magazine when he happened upon the photograph of a man’s face burned by bleaching creams that Barack Obama – as he recalls in his first memoir [1] – felt black, irremediably black, for the first time in his life. Such a repudiation of the black self was a gut-wrenching shock to Obama, who would later be accused by some detractors of “not being black enough.” That may account for the president’s silence at a time when much of America was grieving for the late Michael Jackson, and Obama’s evocation, belatedly and through a spokesperson, of the “tragic” nature of the artist’s life.
