When Antonio Villaraigosa ran for Mayor of Los Angeles a few years ago, most of his platform was based on the fact that he would be the first Hispanic Mayor in 133 years.

Black folks slammed him on this and White folks were given full and complete license to also question his racial identity and joke about it. Then I remember what Jamie Foxx said the other day at the BET Awards show: "Michael Jackson was a black ...
