25 Things Black Presidents (and First Ladies) Are Not Allowed to Do

The growing list – according to Republicans and Republican-leaning media – of things White Presidents and their first ladies can do, but Black ones can’t:

And finally (for now), the big one…

1. Deliver State of the Union without being heckled
2. Complete Rose Garden remarks without interruption
3. Call for a joint session of Congress (the NERVE!)
4. Take a vacation (LAZY!)
5. Play golf (ELITIST!)

6. Play basketball (GHETTO!)
7. Attend Harvard (QUOTA!)
8. Have a birthday party (must instead be called “hip hop barbecue”)
9. Invite other Black people to White House (THUGS!)
10. Speak to school children

11. Appoint judges
12. Serve without providing long-form birth certificate to ******bag rich guy and racist Sheriff
