Barack Obama, yeah.: Barack?!
Barack.: What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?
Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.: Barack Obama?
Yeah.: What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.
You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.: I ain’t really paying much attention.
I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…: Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit“ [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

Sad, but I think he was a little insightful a few questions later:

But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.
I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that shit a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done fucked this shit up then give it to the Black people, “Here you take it. Take my mess.”
