“If Barack Obama can do it, it will be the most fantastic boost, I think, for black people everywhere around the world.”

A simple, sincere expression of hope from Boris ?

No. Me neither.

Maybe Boris really is “racist” and well as being perceived as “racist”. Maybe at the end of Boris’ endorsement we are meant to hear an unspoken, “…and only black people”.

Certainly, as reported in the Telegraph the only thing Boris has to say about Obama is that he is black and good for black people. The man is obsessed.
