Toni Morrison Explains Her Clinton Comment
Do you regret referring to Bill Clinton as the first black President?
People misunderstood that phrase. I was deploring the way in which President Clinton was being treated, vis-à-vis the sex scandal that was surrounding him. I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race.

Ah! This is interesting! And makes perfect sense. As someone said, the Clintons are Black-friendly only when the minorities know their place.
