9. I think you just hit the nail on the head
Especially in reference to George W. surrounding himself with Blacks, only if they share his world views. (Wait, he actually has world views?) :)

One time, he was asked about his outreach to African-Americans, etc. And he responded by citing Condi Rice and Colin Powell as his crowning achievements. He said that when he is visited by foreign leaders in the Oval Office, those foreign leaders see 2 Blacks by his side.

I'm an African-American. And what he doesn't understand is that just because someone looks like me and has my same skin color, doesn't mean they share my interests or my values.
