	Well, I can understand _some_ of those sentiments. Saying he's not 
African American is silly, but I guess they were pointing out that he 
likely did not have the usual African American "experience" in terms of 
his upbringing, and thus may be out of touch with most African 
Americans. How much of that is true, I don't know. It seems he did spend 
a lot of time with them while in Chicago.
