What are you talking about Duke? Things are great so far. I do have to cling to God no matter what. I have nothing against this at all, but in my class there are 9 blacks and 4 whites. African Americans are quite prevalent in that part of Tulsa. I don't mind it at all, but it is an interesting fact in white Oklahoma.
Something, or more properly something else is wrong here. It's a strange juxtaposition, admittedly involving phrases he didn't come up with ("cling to God"), that, even if unintentional, is probably indicative of something unpleasant.
Yeah it's weird that he juxtaposes an infamous Obama phrase (reclaiming "clinging" as a positive description of his relationship with religion in the process? or maybe just using it ironically) with completely unrelated seemingly benign observations about the multitude of black folk at his work.
I mean, the mention of the race of his co-workers was a complete non-sequitur, and his breakdown of their demographic composition made it look even odder. (To be fair, had he said "there are are lot of black people at my job" or "most people at work are black", I imagine I would have looked at that even worse.) But the initial caveat of "I have nothing against this at all, but..." makes it seem that it the "clinging to God" thing was the proper response.
I mean, I don't know whether or not it would seem stranger if he had posted the black part on its own or posted what he did, but it was completely unprompted.
